Hey, kids! Is there fun to be had in Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP)? You bet! 

Our Schedule of Events has fun for the entire family, including family hikes, family fun days, and Park Place Pop-ins.

Junior Ranger Program
Are you 7 to 12 years old? Join park rangers and Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association (CVNPA) staff for summer fun and exploration to earn a Junior Range Badge or a patch. If you can't get to CVNP (or if you're already a Junior Ranger), you can become a WebRanger!

Junior Ranger, Jr. Program 
You're never too young to love the outdoors! Children ages 4 to 6 can search for wildlife, learn how trees grow, ride a train, have other-pint sized adventures, and earn a badge or patch, just like the bigger kids!

Did You Know?
Cuyahoga Valley National Park's namesake river flows north and south. The Cuyahoga River begins its 100 mile journey in Geauga County, flows south to Cuyahoga Falls where it turns sharply north and flows through CVNP. American Indians referred to the U-shaped river as Cuyahoga or "crooked river."
