Boston Trailhead Details
This trailhead, located along the far end of the Towpath Trail, is a convenient green space that links the canal-hugging trail to the Boston area. The nearby Cuyahoga Boston Store Visitor Center offers park information and rotating exhibitions that illustrate canal and canal boat history. A Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad station is also located nearby. A kiosk nearer the trailhead points out trails leading west toward the spectacular Blue Hen and Buttermilk Falls, and the trail connecting to the state-wide Buckeye Trail through tall hemlock and deciduous forest. This small parking lot can get quite busy at times.
