Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio

Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the only national park in Ohio, was established on 11 October, 2000, along the Cuyahoga River. Covering 32,947 acres (133 sq km) between Akron and Cleveland, Cuyahoga Valley National Park preserves the rural area of Ohio.

Cuyahoga Valley has been a recreational spot since the late 19th century, when people went there for boat rides along the canal. It was a way for city folks to enjoy the greenery of nature. The park has many trails ideal for hiking and bicycling. Among the features of the park include waterfalls, caves and rolling hills.

A major trail through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park is the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath trail. It passes through a number of sites of natural and historic significance. The trail follows the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal, which improved transporation of farm produce. Today's visitors can retrace the path of 19th century farmers and canal boats.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
