TABLE OF CONTENTS
The Cuyahoga built the industrial empire of greater Cleveland. Today, the valley containing this river exists as a green shrouded miracle caught between the spreading suburbs of Akron and Cleveland. Clearly, the Cuyahoga Valley with its significant natural, historical, and recreation qualities is one of the most strategically located resources in reach of urban America. It is as valuable and needed as the Gateway National Recreation Area in New York Harbor or the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in San Francisco.
