NPS COLLECTION
The Cuyahoga River winds its way through Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Cuyahoga Valley National Park preserves 33,000 acres along 22 miles of the Cuyahoga River between Cleveland and Akron in northeastern Ohio.
The natural beauty of the park’s river, forest, and wetlands provides special attractions for visitors and a home for native Ohio Wildlife such as deer, coyote, fox, beaver, and over 200 species of birds. Ohio’s only national park is a remarkable place—a place where native flora and fauna thrive, and where people come to learn, relax, and experience the natural world.
