Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Melhor época para visitar
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.
Dicas para economizar
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.
Recomendado para
Hikers and waterfall chasers, Cyclists, Families with kids, Railroad enthusiasts

Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Mais de 125 cachoeiras despencam neste vale fluvial, com a Cascata Brandywine caindo 20 metros sobre um penhasco de arenito. Uma seção esquecida do Canal Ohio & Erie, construído com 44 eclusas cavadas à mão, ainda percorre o parque e você pode caminhar ao longo de sua trilha de reboque hoje.
Destaques: No fundo da floresta perto da Stanford House, um único plátano se destaca com um tronco de circunferência superior a 5,5 metros, facilmente com 250 anos de idade. Os guardas do parque dizem que já era uma muda quando George Washington era presidente, crescendo silenciosamente através de cada era da história americana.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
