Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad Audio Tour – Northbound Narration #11 – Leaving Canal Exploration Center Station
Transcript
Narrator 1: As we travel the last leg of the northbound trip from Canal Exploration Center to Rockside Road, reflect on the remarkable transformation of the valley. As water quality improves and wildlife returns, consider how a renewed Cuyahoga River revitalizes us. Communities and other partners connected by the river are turning neglected waterfront into vibrant places to relax and play. Time along the river might reconnect you with nature, as well as to friends and families. Also consider the vision and work of many that made the transformation possible. This kind of dedication to making our environment and quality of life better can happen in any community. Is there change that you would like to make happen in your community?
Narrator 2: All the work in Cuyahoga Valley National Park has created a place for you to enjoy. Approximately three million people visit Cuyahoga Valley National Park each year. People find the park appealing both for its diverse natural and cultural features and for the wide variety of recreational activities it offers. Miles of trails for walking and bicycling, areas to picnic and fish, paddling the river, arts and ranger-led programs, and inspiring scenery are all part of the park experience. What brought you here today to Cuyahoga Valley? What will your next experience be in this national park visit? And of course, Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad is part of it all. Not only can you enjoy scenery from the train and learn about the park, but you can also join special events throughout the year. Did you know you can also create recreational adventures with the train? The train has a baggage car to carry bicycles or kayaks. This way you can take a one-way trip and then cycle down the towpath or float the river to return to where you started.
Narrator 1: We’re coming up to Rockside Station and the end of our Northbound tour. If you’re staying on board to head south with us, stay tuned for more stories about the Valley and how it was settled. Otherwise, if this is your last stop with us, thanks for joining us and riding Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.
