Hinckley Reservation is a lovely Cleveland Metroparks reservation in Medina County, anchored around the 90-acre lake of the same name. The park is best known as the site of the annual Return of the Buzzards, a migratory bird observation period that takes place each year in mid-March. Visitors can observe the unique carvings of Worden's Ledges, crafted by Noble Stuart in the 1940s, or view the impressive Whipp's Ledges, which stretch 350 feet above the lake's shoreline and were formed over 250 million years ago. Fishing, swimming, and boating opportunities are offered at Hinckley Lake, while public access trails are offered in the Rising Valley Park area, which was transferred to the supervision of Cleveland Metroparks from Hinckley Township. Other attractions include a public pool and recreation area, scenic overlooks, and the Buzzard's Landing concession area.
