For our March hike, we will meet at 11:00 AM at the Squire’s Castle Picnic Area & Trailhead in the North Chagrin Reservation of Cleveland Metroparks and choose one of the trail routes originating from the castle area based on conditions. This popular landmark is surrounded by a network of trails through preserves in the park system.

Please wear appropriate clothing and bring what you need to be comfortable like water and an extra layer. Afterwards we can adjourn for refreshment at one of the many nearby establishments.
