Near the urban areas of Cleveland and Akron is a seemingly distant place of beauty known as Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Cuyahoga, which means “the crooked river” as named by American Indians, presents spectacular scenery of deep forests, open farmlands, and rolling hills. Being a haven for flora and fauna, Cuyahoga Valley National Park will definitely bring to its visitors a sense of relaxation and peace.

Once you are in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, visitors may have a wide array of options for their activities, where they can do some sightseeing along the Ohio & Erie Canal, which runs through the above said tourist attraction. Additionally, families can enjoy a picnic beside a pond, and those who are quite adventurous can hike through the trails in the park. During the winter season, guests may also participate in winter sports organized by the administrating body of the park.

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is open everyday, although certain areas are closed at dusk its visitors’ centers closed during Thanksgiving Day, December 25, and New Year’s Day.
