Hiking Clubs
Along the Cleveland-Akron run of the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad you can bike one way and ride the scenic rail back for $3! It's a great way to explore the National Park.
The trail is also great for running because of the surface, which is generally flat and composed of crushed limestone, which has less of a negative impact on a runner’s body. Whether you are running to stay in shape or enjoying a leisurely form of exercise, we encourage you to check out some running events that occur along the Towpath Trail. There are a series of marathon races put on at various times of the year along with running clubs for you to join!
