Last week, another milestone was accomplished in the quest to connect Cleveland to New Philadelphia along the Ohio and Erie Canal. The towpath is now complete between the City limits of Cleveland and Downtown Akron. Check out the 22 mile section of towpath through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park that has been reviewed by neoNaturalist.com.

It is a wonderful section of paved trail that gives a glimpse of natural and cultural history to anyone willing to get off the couch, or out from behind the computer screen and explore nature.
