Northern Ohio

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

A refuge for flora & fauna.

India and Ireland take on their first National Park! With over 125 miles of hiking trails, this dog-friendly national park offers plenty of places to discover with your pup.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park is uniquely located in a major metropolitan area. Just minutes from Cleveland and Akron, this river valley is a large nature playground in the middle of highways and city neighborhoods.

A few of our favorites

Boston Mill Visitors Center
Junior Ranger Badge

Brandywine Falls and Brandywine Gorge Trail
An absolute must do!

Boston store
Grab some ice cream for a pick me up! Lovely rocking chairs outside to enjoy a treat. Sits along the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail so be certain not to step in front of a biker! For an added bonus, they have dog ice cream and homemade dog treats!

M.D. Garage
A great restoration of a period gas station with cute photo ops!

Beaver Marsh Boardwalk Trail
Quiet spot perfect for bird watching or just enjoying the view. Sits along the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail so watch out for bikers (and Beavers for that matter). Dust and Dawn are the best times to view wildlife during the warm summer months along the boardwalk and bike path.
