CUYAHOGA VALLEY NATIONAL PARK

Just a short 40 minute drive from our RV park was a national park. I had never heard about Cuyahoga (pronounced: ki-yah-hoe-gah) Valley National Park before our visit to Ohio, so, of course, we had to visit it.

We drove to the Boston Mill Visitor Center first. I was glad we stopped here. I learned more about the river and park, but also learned that some areas of the park were closed because of road and hiking path repairs. We were only able to go see one of the falls in the area (Brandywine Falls), and I was disappointed. So much of this park you can only see by bicycle riding (which we don’t do) or hiking multiple miles (which we weren’t prepared to do that day). Oh, well, that’s life. Here is what we did see.

Looking up river from the bridge. Can you find the two kayakers way upstream? You may have to zoom in.

This was part of the path to see Brandywine Falls from the bottom.

We had a lovely day. Of course, on the way home, we stopped for some ice cream!

So, for now ….. “On the Road Again!”

    I’ve never heard about Cuyahoga Valley National Park before, and I have to say it looks quite lovely, especially those waterfalls, Betty! Thanks for sharing and have a nice day 🙂 Aiva xx

      I hadn’t heard of it either! I’m sure there is WAY more to see (2 more falls and a lot of historical places) that we just didn’t have time for.
