Valley
National

the

National
Park.
Situated

and
Akron,
the
park
encompasses
33,000
acres
along
the

is a
woodland
refuge.
The
winding
Cuyahoga,
an
Indian

“crooked
river,”
gives
way
to
rolling
floodplain,
steep
valley
walls
and
ravines,
and
lush
upland
forests.
The
park
offers
hikers
everything
from
rugged
backcountry
hiking
trails
to
the
nearby
Ohio
&
Erie
Canal
Towpath
Trail.
The
American
Hiking
Society
rates
the
Towpath
Trail
as
one
of
the
“top
ten
family-friendly
trails
in
the
U.S.”
