STRONGSVILLE, Ohio — The Cleveland Metroparks has a list of winter activities you can try throughout the season.
While you may already know about the Strongsville Toboggan Chutes and Chalet, there are multiple other winter-related options, which you can explore below.
SNOW SHOEING
“Snowshoeing is permitted on hiking, bridle, and all purpose trails (that have not been plowed), as well as the fairways and rough areas of Big Met, Little Met, Shawnee Hills, Seneca, Mastick Woods and Sleepy Hollow golf courses with a four-inch snow base,” Cleveland Metroparks officials say on their winter activities page. “Snowshoers are asked not to walk on the groomed cross-country marked courses at Big Met and Seneca golf courses.
