Ledges Overlook — Attraction in Boston Township

This place goes down in history for our families. My wife's middle name is Kendall and her parents were even married here. This park inside the Cuyahoga Valley National park is a must see! There is plenty of parking, large open fields, pavilions, modernized restrooms, and beautiful trails to traverse. Not to mention the ledges and rock formations are really a site to behold. Right across the street is Kendall Lake and below the ledges is the "Octagon" park. All within walking distance or drive if you don't want a hike. This is just one of dozens of parks within the Cuyahoga Valley. If you like nature and exploration, this is the place for you.

Or dotted along the side of the green field...if it's not raining...every table is awesome!! Some are even romantic! But, the hiking, the trails, the views. . breathtaking monuments to and from Mother Nature. It is unique,...

Nice view of national park from this place, its very near to shelter and parking unless you want to take The Ledge Trail which is 1.5 mile loop. I would suggest once you park go directly there instead of taking full loop unless you really want to walk that much in woods. We didnt know this and had to take full 1.5 mile loop to reach there and when we saw its next to parking area we were like why we walk that much. Although I liked that jungle walk but not everyone is keen to walk that much. I would suggest visit in morning time or in afternoon so see fall colors, definitely not...
