    Hiking

    Acacia Reservation is a 155-acre green space tucked between Legacy Village and Beachwood Place in Lyndhurst, just off Cedar Road and Richmond Road. Once a private golf course, it’s now part of the Cleveland Metroparks system and has been gradually rewilded into meadows, forests, and wetlands. A 1.7-mile paved loop circles the property, popular with walkers, runners, and cyclists looking for an easy outing.
