Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Cuyahoga Valley National Park lies along the Cuyahoga River between the Ohio cities of Cleveland and Akron. The Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail is a restored section of the canal's original towpath. In the park’s north, the Canal Exploration Center details the 19th-century waterway’s history. Towering Brandywine Falls is one of several waterfalls. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad runs through the park. Allie grew up running, hiking and biking these trails. It was one of the first places she took Ryan in Cleveland, and he too fell in love with this park! Ryan and Allie love biking the towpath and ending for lunch at Winking Lizard in Peninsula. This is about a 20 minute trip from downtown but so worth it, weather permitting! Our favorite spots:
