Lengthy Closure Begins For Section Of Towpath Trail In Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Share
By NPT Staff - March 13th, 2017

River bed stabilization means a section of the Towpath Trail will be off limits for much of the rest of 2017/NPS

Aside from summer weekends and holidays, part of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail at the northern end of Cuyahoga Valley National Park is closed through March 2018. Major stabilization work along the Cuyahoga River necessitates the closure between Hillside Road and Stone Road in Valley View. There is no detour.

From May 27 to July 31, the trail will be open on weekends and holidays (May 29, July 3, and July 4) but remain closed Monday through Friday. After July 31, the complete closure will be in effect.

The multi-purpose Towpath Trail connects to many of the natural and historic sites in the park and to other trails that intersect it along the way. Within the national park, the trail is level and hard-packed for people using wheelchairs, bicycles, and strollers.
