Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a national park of the United States in Ohio that preserves and reclaims the rural landscape along the Cuyahoga River between Akron and Cleveland in Northeast Ohio. The park is a refuge for native plants and wildlife, and provides routes of discovery for visitors. The winding Cuyahoga River gives way to deep forests, rolling hills, and open farmlands. Walk or ride the Towpath Trail to follow the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal. The park has a diverse history, with indigenous peoples such as the Lenapé Nation inhabiting the area, and later being pushed west due to wars, coercive treaties, and legislative changes. The park is administered by the National Park Service and is the only national park in the state of Ohio
