Lake Isaac — Attraction in Middleburg Heights

Lake Isaac is a beautiful park. It is part of the Lake-to-Lake trail. Lake Isaac is a great place to walk and bird watch. Egrets and great blue herons come here a lot.

When I was there, it was almost exclusively people coming from work (with badges on) or people walking their dogs, but our toddlers had fun exploring and walking on the...
