National Park Service reopens Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail section

Cuyahoga Valley National Park has reopened the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail between Canal Exploration Center and Lock 39 Trailhead in Valley View.

On March 29, the entire trail within CVNP was closed due to flooding. Although the park was able to quickly reopen most of the trail after assessing it for damage, this trail section sustained the most damage and remained closed.

Trail users should expect some rough surfaces along the entire length of the trail.

Visitors should always follow the Centers for Disease Control guidelines for social distancing and choose less popular times and locations to visit. For more information, visit the park website.
