Playground

Right off Buffalo Ridge Road, this spot is basically the gateway to Mitchell Memorial Forest, so you’re already winning before you even get to the playground. The mountain bike trails are the real draw for a lot of families — kids who are into that kind of thing will want to ride all day. It’s accessible too, which matters, and the natural setting does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping everyone entertained. If you’re planning a longer outdoor day in Cleves, this makes a solid first or last stop.
