Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Periodo migliore per visitare
Late September through October for peak fall foliage, when the maple and oak trees paint the valley in crimson and gold. Early morning on weekdays offers the quietest trails and mist rising off the waterfalls.
Consigli per il budget
Entry is completely free, as are all park trails and programs. Parking at popular trailheads like Brandywine Falls fills fast, so arrive before 9 a.m. on weekends or use the free Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad for access.
Consigliato per
Hikers and waterfall chasers, Cyclists, Families with kids, Railroad enthusiasts

Half day to full day
Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Più di 125 cascate precipitano attraverso questa valle fluviale, con Brandywine Falls che si tuffa per 65 piedi da una scogliera di arenaria. Una sezione trascurata del canale Ohio & Erie, costruita con 44 chiuse scavate a mano, attraversa ancora il parco e oggi puoi camminare lungo il suo sentiero di alaggio.
Punti salienti: Nel profondo della foresta vicino a Stanford House, un singolo platano si erge con una circonferenza del tronco di oltre 18 piedi, facilmente 250 anni. I ranger del parco dicono che era già un alberello quando George Washington era presidente, crescendo silenziosamente attraverso ogni epoca della storia americana.
Consigli da insider
- Skip the crowded Brandywine Falls boardwalk and hike the less visited Blue Hen Falls or Buttermilk Falls instead for solitude.
- Rent a bike from Century Cycles in Peninsula and pedal the 20-mile paved Towpath Trail, which is flat and follows the old canal route.
- Board the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad at Rockside Station for a narrated ride through the gorge with panoramic views impossible from the trail.
- Trekking poles or sturdy waterproof boots help on the Ledges Trail, where slick sandstone can catch hikers off guard after rain.
