Cuyahoga Valley National Park
33,000 acres of forests wait between Cleveland and Akron, all along the snaking Cuyahoga River. The park will delight you with plenty of outdoor activities suiting every interest, but do not climb over the fenced areas, rocks, or Brandy wine Falls.

With an average high of 79°F and a low of 60°F, the fall weather here is exceptional.

Yellow and red leaves in fall will catch your eyes, contrasting with this park’s glassy waters. In the Land of 10,000 Lakes, there are no roads in the park, so visitors use boats to cross this remote 218,000-acre park. Some 100+ bird species, even the rare ones, pass through the park, so keep an eye out for them.
