Why Go

The 65-foot Brandywine Falls, the sandstone ledges of Virginia Kendall Park, and herons in the Beaver Marsh are the highlights. The Ohio and Erie Canal once carried goods from Lake Erie to the Ohio River through the valley.

Tips

  • Bike the Towpath Trail one way and ride the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad back with your bike for a small fee.
