Chapin Forest is located on Hobart Road just north of Route 6 in Kirtland, Ohio. In the summer, you can hike over 5 miles of trails. There are 4 shelters that can be reserved, several water fountains, rest rooms, and the Pine Ski Lodge. The lodge rents skis, snowshoes, and offers a variety of drinks and snacks for sale throughout the year. Trails are groomed in the winter months for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Lake Metroparks also offers guided hikes through the old quarry and conglomerate ledges. You can even see all the way to downtown Cleveland from the top of the quarry! A must see during any season. There is plenty of parking and no entrance fee.
