Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Part II - The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail

The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail is 101 miles long, 19 of which are in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We biked an extremely scenic section from the Boston Store to the Frazee House, 15½ miles round trip. 

Highlights were the old locks, the Northfield High Level Bridge, the Station Road Bridge, fall foliage, the Cuyahoga river, and Beaver Marsh. 

We would have done a one-way ride, but unfortunately, Bike Aboard, which lets you bike as far as you want on the towpath and take the train back, is not in service until it recovers from Covid.

Beaver in the Beaver Marsh. Full disclosure - we didn't bike this part of the towpath, but parked at the nearest trail head and walked over. Didn't see the any of the river otters 😧
