bradley woods reservation

“Bradley Woods Reservation, located in North Olmsted and Westlake, is on a massive formation of Berea sandstone. The stone is easily seen in the old quarry sites located in various areas of the reservation. The quarries were in operation over 50 years ago and produced sandstone for building stones. The reservation is filled with deep forests of red maples, sour gums, tupelos, yellow birches, and pin oaks. Bunns Lake, dedicated in 1986, was created to provide waterfowl habitat, and serve as a pleasant spot for nature lovers. The reservation also conserves wildlife habitat with large tracts of relatively undisturbed woodlands and open areas with a large deer population.” -Cleveland Metroparks

Time to check another Cleveland Metropark off our challenge. Bradley Woods is a smaller park but gave us a few nice loops to walk on. We left Penny at home, we had other plans for after our hike. Joe found a giant stick and somehow that translated into him being the King of the Ants.
