Scenic natural areas give Kirtland its peaceful character

Lake County's Kirtland is known as the "city of faith and beauty," due to the region's expansive green spaces. A substantial portion of the community is dedicated to state parks and reservations. It is a quaint city with a rural, almost nostalgic small-town feel in Lake County.

Nature trails, scenic views and animal encounters throughout the city

About 20 percent of the land in Kirtland is dedicated to reservations and parks. Roger Talka, a Realtor with Howard Hanna, says "Kirtland is very scenic. There are a lot of vast, open fields. Occasionally, I enjoy driving to the city and having lunch there because the surroundings are beautiful." Within the wetlands of the Penitentiary Glen Reservation are over 8 miles of hiking trails with interactive discovery sites for children and a nature center. The Holden Arboretum has some of the most optimal viewings for Kirtland's verdant, picturesque landscape. If you're not afraid of heights, consider scaling the Kalberer Emergent Tower, which stretches 120 feet in the air for a unique view of the treetops. Brave residents will also cross over the canopy walk. This elevated bridge is made of wood and metal cords suspended in the air for scenic, picture-worthy views. Chapin Forest Reservation holds a sandstone quarry that was used to build some of the community's earliest structures. The reserve is also a popular winter spot for its onsite lodge ski center. You can get close and personal with horses, sheep and other animals at Farmpark. The public green space also contains the Meadow Dog Park, where man's best friend can run free. The grounds have hosted several beloved events, such as the Village Peddler Festival and Vintage Ohio event, also known as Wine Fest.
