Faces in the Ledges

by Felicia Davies

Worden’s Ledges Loop Trail in Hinkley Reservation located in Northeast Ohio is like entering another world. Hiking enthusiasts and rock climbers alike love this natural playground.

Along the trail, you will find carvings from the 1940s that include faces of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, as well as a sphinx, pirate ship a crucifix and more!

Worden’s Loop was named after the original owner of the land, Hiram Worden, and all of the carvings were done by his son-in-law, Noble Stuart.

There are many hidden carvings in the ledges which is a fun scavenger hunt while you’re hiking.

If you want to visit Hinkley, the Worden’s Loop Trail is located at 908-856 County Hwy 135, Hinkley, OH 44233. We have been many times as it’s only about 45 minutes away from us and we highly recommend a visit.
