What to expect

Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a national park 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. Visitors can walk or ride the Towpath Trail to follow the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal. The park offers something for everyone, from hiking, golfing, historic train rides, and kayaking to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. It is also a great place for families to visit, with opportunities for recreation and solitude
