The designated trails are:

• Beaver Loop at Seneca Ponds Park, in Streetsboro, (one mile).
• Headwaters Trail, Cuyahoga River in Mantua to Vaughn Road on the Mantua-Hiram Township line (3.1 miles), or state Route 700 to Limeridge Road in Hiram Township (four miles).
• Lakeside Trail, Towner's Woods Park, in Franklin Township (1.2 miles) or the park's Butterfly Loop (1.3 miles).

Three of the trails are at preserves not yet open to the public and are accessible only on guided walks. These are in the Walter Preserve in Palmyra Township, the Chagrin Headwaters Preserve in Mantua and the Breakneck Creek Preserve in Ravenna Township.
