I can’t speak to the trails, but the connecting portion of the Cuyahoga river is incredible for kayaking and canoeing. One of the upstream stops on the Cuyahoga river water trail, it’s an easy upstream paddle and return to the park. Much of the river is canopied, making it comfortable even in full sun.
This is truly a hidden gem.I have fished this river with my sons since they were very young. What a blessing to have a place like that at your hand.
Pretty park along the river, plus fairly clean pit toilet. Trails exist, but overgrown and one appeared flooded. Lots of birds here!
Wonderful park. Nice trails. Fascinating evergreen area. Also has water access to launch & retrieve canoes kayaks & small boats.

Hiking , biking, skiing, and kayaking,
