There are many opportunities in Cuyahoga Valley National Park to do service projects and action projects. Cuyahoga Valley and Cuyahoga Valley National Park Association offer multiple ways to get involved throughout the park and earn hours toward the Resource Stewardship Scout Ranger certificate or patch.

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."
