Cuyahoga Valley National Park Established as a national recreation area on December 27, 1974 and granted national park status on October 11, 2000, the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) is a 51 mi (134 km) national park in northeastern Ohio near Akron and Cleveland and is the only national park in Ohio. The namesake of the park is the Cuyahoga River, which means "Crooked River" in Mohawk. Many visitors spend their time hiking or bicycling the crushed limestone along portions of the 20 mile (30 km) Towpath Trail, a former stretch of the 308 mile (496 km) Ohio and Erie Canal. The park offers an array of displays of 19th and early 20th Century sustainable farming while catering to contemporary interests with art exhibits, outdoor concerts and scenic railroad tours.
