Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Bradley Woods Reservation preserves Cleveland Metroparks' only swamp forest area, located within the suburb of Westlake along 795 acres. The woodland park sits atop a massive Berea sandstone quarry area, which formerly produced sandstone for building stones throughout the 20th century. Today, visitors can enjoy wildlife observation and relaxation at Bunns Lake, a manmade reservoir dedicated in 1986 to provide a habitat for native waterfowl. Richly forested areas are laden with red maple, yellow birch, sour gum, pin oak, and tulip trees, while two miles of hiking trails provide scenic panoramas of the lake area. An open grassy area provides a spot for pickup sporting games and picnics, while a monarch butterfly waystation offers a nesting site for threatened species. Visitors can reserve the Codrington Shelterhouse picnic area, which offers electric hookups, barbecue grills, and public restrooms.
