Sandy Ridge Reservation, North Ridgeville OH

Gorgeous location! Serene and the ability to see amazing wildlife so close is awesome. Small oasis

Great nature spot.only not a 5 because of mosquitos during certain times of the year. There is a lot of water, so that is inevitable. There are always birds, ducks, swans, osprey and such to see. A great place to run or have a nature walk.

It was such a great experience! The workers were kind and knowledgeable! Came with my ecology class and we had a bunch of fun!

2 mile loop, Meadows habitat of hydrophytes, bird watching, good for stroll for whole family, small kids play area, picnic benches as well.

Went here to take daughters senior pictures and it was really beautiful. Very quiet, lots of wild flowers.

I recommend the reservation for everyone who wants to experience real nature! In the middle of the suburbs.

I will be coming back

This is a gorgeous park. The grounds & pavilions are well kept & far enough apart for each guest to enjoy their own party. The trails are awesome for biking, running, & walking. It's a quiet & beautiful getaway.

Bald eagles, sandhill cranes, hawks, egrets, ducks, owls, turtles, and blue heron are just some of the awesome wildlife you can see here.

This is my go-to for communing with nature. Waterfowl of every sort, wildflowers galore, and if you're lucky you may see bald eagles! They've done a great job of reverting farm fields to the original wetlands there.

The trail was immaculate, very easy to navigate (looks like it would be great for strollers) and had plenty of benches. The marsh loop was a beautiful display of local flora, birds and insects. Definitely recommend the trail for an easy walk. I also stopped to use the restroom and the facilities were clean and well taken care of.

Great place to walk and enjoy nature. Staff wasnt the best they closed the bathrooms early when we were out of the park.

I do bird photography! This place is great for bird photography, especially during bird migration session (April-May)! Also, this place is perfect to take a evening or morning walk!

Walked my doggo yesterday, came home to find dozens of tics. This dog loop trail needs to be sprayed. Please be cautious if taking your dog here.

Well maintained pathways, lots of interesting creatures of nature to enjoy in a natural surrounding. Restrooms available.

We hiked the Wetwoods and Marsh Trail. This is a loop trail of approximately 2.1 miles in length. Flat and easy for all skill levels. Great bird watching, along with other diverse wildlife.

Walking around the miles of protected wetlands is peaceful, energizing, and it's fun to go on off path adventures. You'll see so many different birds, turtles, eagles, geese, ducks, and insects as you bike, walk and run the stone path around the water. It's flat enough to take strollers or wheelchairs.

Wow! An unexpected gem. A large population of different wildlife, particularly birds. Saw bald eagles, a Sand Hill crane, swans, an owl, mallard and wood ducks, swifts, warblers and dozens of Canadian geese. There were nesting geese just a couple feet off the path. Many turtles sunning themselves and a mink swimming about. It's not huge, a bit over 2 miles loop. Dogs are prohibited, the geese will fight them!

It's great to see reclaimed areas return to thriving habitat for so many life forms.
Where else can you see a bald eagle hunting, multiple water fowl, turtles, snakes, frogs, and so many varieties of plants?

Mother Nature & North Ridgeville did a great job on this place. I thoroughly enjoyed hours there today! Loved it, so many views and wildlife!
