Remnants of an early-19th-century canal dot this trail as it journeys
85 miles through a panoply of varied landscapes in northeastern
Ohio. Down the primarily crushed-stone pathway, adventurers
will discover a series of canal locks, restored historical buildings,
interpretive signage and, of course, the canal itself. A portion of
the trail traverses Cuyahoga Valley National Park, where train
enthusiasts can take a ride on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.

Monongahela and Ohio—this paved rail-trail
provides access to some of the city’s most
dynamic views and attractions. Numerous
bridges over the waterways offer expansive
vantage points and connections to an
eclectic mix of industrial, commercial and
residential neighborhoods.
