| Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a wonderful place for an outdoor adventure if you’re looking for a family vacation idea! The 125 miles of park trails make great family hiking and biking fun as you explore the old Ohio & Erie Canal route, a boardwalk over the beaver marsh, or past the blue heron rookeries. There’s also plenty of national park adventure as you’ll see waterfalls, wildlife, a small cave, and quaint old fashioned towns with plenty of history. Although the park is spread over a wide area, it doesn’t take long to get from one scenic area to another, and the readily available park maps soon have you learning shortcuts to get you there even quicker. Check out below for great Cuyahoga Valley National Park information.
