Walter C. Best Wildlife Preserve is a 101-acre park in Munson Township, roughly 1.5 miles south of Chardon, Ohio, donated in memory of Walter C. Best, founder of the nearby Best Sand Corporation.

Today the lake and surrounding grounds are home to more than 100 species of birds alongside deer, fox, muskrat, and beaver. Three paved trails, the Goldenrod, Cattail, and Waterfowl trails, wind through the preserve for a combined 1.6 miles and are suited to birdwatching, hiking, and cross-country skiing. For gatherings, the preserve's Sunset Shelter can be reserved for events of up to 75 guests.

Mountain Run Station is a 32-acre Geauga Park District park in Hambden Township, Ohio, serving as the gateway to the central section of The Maple Highlands Trail.

The Glidden House is a French Gothic mansion built in 1910 in Cleveland's University Circle, commissioned as the private residence of Frank and Mary Glidden, son of Glidden Paint Company founder Francis Harrington Glidden. Designed by Cleveland architect Edward Hughes Glidden, the home later served Case Western Reserve University's psychology department before its restoration into a boutique hotel. The mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and holds AAA Three Diamond status.
