The Ledges Trail at Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a 2.5 mile loop hike that brings you along massive rock bluffs (ledges), up to an amazing lookout point, and over to Ice Box Cave.
The loop itself is about 2 miles long, but you'll need to hike in along connector trails for a total of about 0.5 extra miles - hence, 2.5 miles total. Alternatively, you can shorten the hike by heading south from parking and hitting the trail near the lookout point first.
This is a must-see loop hike at Cuyahoga Valley National Park as the trail brings you along numerous impressive rock ledges. Dogs are allowed here, but biking is not. This is a very popular trail in the park as well, so prepare for a crowd near Ice Box Cave as well as the southern lookout point.
