Looking to visit an underrated national park this summer? I’ve got you covered👇
📍Cuyahoga Valley National Park - Ohio
🚗 Located roughly 6.5 hrs from Philly and around a 2 hour drive from Pittsburgh this national park makes for a great long weekend trip. Whether it’s hiking, biking or birding this park offers something for everyone!
🏕️ While camping is not permitted in the park. My husband and I camped at Streetsboro/Cleveland KOA. It was only about a 20 minute drive away. If camping isn’t your thing this campground also offers other options like cabins and glamping tent rentals.
🥾 There are over 125 trails located within CVNP! Some of my favorites were The Ledges Trail, Brandywine Gorge Loop, Beaver Marsh, and Blue Hen Falls.
🚲 Something I would like to do next time I revisit is bike along the Ohio & Erie Towpath which runs 20 miles north and south of the park.
🚂 Riding on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad is another unique way to enjoy this park. I didn’t have time to fit this in when I visited, but I definitely want to next time!
🐾 One of my favorite things about this park is that it’s super dog friendly! Just be sure to follow the rules and keep your dogs on a leash at all times. There are over 100 miles worth of trails dogs are allowed on in this park.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when visiting because I had seen this national park is rated as one of the “worst” ones to visit. Just like all of our other national parks there is a lot of history when it comes to this one as well. I really enjoyed learning and seeing how this area has changed since becoming a national park and I would definitely revisit again!
Have you visited Cuyahoga Valley National Park yet?
Please remember to stay on the trail and Leave No Trace while spending time outdoors!

I still need to visit this one as well! Only 6 hours from me. How many days would you recommend to get a full experience from this national park?
