This summer, Cleveland Metroparks rivers are yours to discover when you take part in Hear Here! - An Audio Tour of Cleveland Metroparks!

This fun-filled adventure for all ages will take you on a self-led tour of Cleveland Metroparks rivers. Just hop in the car, and get ready to tune your radio to
1620 AM at each Hear Here! site for a unique tour of six gems of the "Emerald Necklace."

You can learn the history of Mill Creek Falls and Euclid Creek, learn the natural history of the Rocky River and Berea Falls, and understand why the Hinckley dam was built.                 

The “Hear Here!” tour is great for all ages and allows you the flexibility of experiencing the tour all in one day or by making different stops on different days.  At each stop on the tour, you can pull your car into a parking space, turn off the engine, and tune into 1620 AM to listen for fun facts and interesting stories. 

The broadcast may be in progress.  But the message repeats itself and can be listened to more than once to ensure all the fascinating details about the site and its surroundings are covered.

To experience the wonders of the six sites even more, you are encouraged to get out and explore by hiking, picnicking or just relaxing at the site.
