In this episode of Exploring the National Parks, we are exploring Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio!

This national park is so incredible because it was an important area for the development of the wild frontier.  It also sparked a crucial environmental movement and opened up discussions on the importance of the natural environment.

You don’t usually hear much about this national park, even though it sees millions of visitors each year! We wanted to explore Cuyahoga Valley with you today so that you can discover this spectacular national park.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Canal Exploration Center
• Our favorite thing to do at this national park
• The gateway towns in this area
• The accessibility of this park
• Our favorite restaurants in the area
• The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad
• The Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath
• Cool trails you’ll want to check out
• The haunted bridge you can’t miss

We hope you enjoyed learning all about this lesser-known national park! Cuyahoga Valley is such a unique park, and we highly recommend making a trip to see it for yourself.
