Top Outdoor Winter Activities Near Cleveland

Winter Activities

There’s a reason why people clamor over Cleveland real estate: when you live in this city, you can enjoy the splendor of all four seasons.

Even the nippy days of winter are amazing thanks to a wealth of fun activities in the area. Below are some that you’ll surely fall in love with:

Winter Activities

Snowshoeing at North Chagrin Reservation

Who said hiking is only for summer? With the help of snowshoes, traversing the North Chagrin Reservation can be a truly magical experience. Imagine walking on snow-covered terrain while passing through forests dusted with snowflakes. And don’t worry if you don’t have snowshoes — you can rent them at many establishments in town. While you’re at it, hire a tour guide who can show you the best winter trails. The hike from the nature center to Buttermilk Falls is especially beautiful.

Skating at Cleveland Public Square

Skaters rejoice: the Cleveland Foundation Ice Rink at Public Square warmly welcomes you during the winter season! The facility opens during Winterfest, an annual celebration that’s held shortly after Thanksgiving. Unlike other rinks, it uses real ice rather than a synthetic polymer surface, so you can enjoy an authentic skating experience. There’s no limit to how long you can skate, though the rink does limit how many people are allowed inside for health and safety reasons. If your tots are interested in skating, you can sign them up for weekend lessons as well.

Skiing at Boston Mills/Brandywine Ski Resort

When it comes to skiing in Ohio, few venues can hold a candle to Boston Mills/Brandywine Ski Resort. After all, it offers 18 immaculate trails that cater to skiers of all skill levels. And with 16 ski lifts that can transport 20,000 people an hour, you’ll never have to wait long to hit the slopes again. The destination is a two-for-one deal, too, as you get access to two different skiing facilities. This means tickets are interchangeable between resorts, giving you unbeatable value for money. It’s only 30 minutes away from downtown Cleveland, but it’s truly a world away.

And the best part? There are still available real estate properties in Cleveland, Ohio that are just a short drive away from all these activities.
