About Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Explore the natural beauty of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, nestled in Brecksville, Ohio! This diverse park offers a range of hiking experiences, from easy strolls to moderately challenging loops. Discover breathtaking waterfalls like the 15-foot cascade at Blue Hen Falls, where adventurous hikers can even walk behind the falls (use caution!), and the picturesque Brandywine Falls, accessed by a 1.4-mile loop that might require a creek crossing depending on water levels. Don't miss the easily accessible Bridal Veil Falls, a scenic 20-foot cascade just a short walk from the parking area.

For more immersive explorations, venture onto the Ledges Loop Trail (2.5 miles) to encounter unique rock formations, Icebox Cave (also accessible via the shorter Icebox Cave Trail), and panoramic lookout points. Discover the serene Hemlock Loop Trail (0.7 miles) along Tinker's Creek, where you can enjoy spring wildflowers and a small waterfall. Alternatively, immerse yourself in the tranquil atmosphere of the Tree Farm Loop Trail (2.8 miles), leading you past Horseshoe Pond and into a beautiful evergreen forest. Whether you're seeking a short, scenic walk or a longer, more challenging hike, Cuyahoga Valley National Park has something to offer every outdoor enthusiast.
