Updated Towpath Trail Closures in Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Brecksville, Ohio – The National Park Service is closing the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail from Station Road Bridge Trailhead to Frazee House in Cuyahoga Valley National Park for visitor safety during canal dredging activities. The maintenance dredging is needed to remove accumulated debris from the canal to allow a free flow of water in the canal. The closure will occur from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday, February 25 to Friday, March 20. The trail will be open evenings and weekends. No detour is provided.

CVNP encompasses 33,000 acres along the Cuyahoga River between Cleveland and Akron, Ohio. Managed by the National Park Service, CVNP combines cultural, historical, recreational, and natural activities in one setting. For more information visit www.nps.gov/cuva or call 330-657-2752.
