Valley Trail Details
This long trail measures nearly 15 miles in order to connect the bridle trails in the northern end of Cuyahoga Valley National Park to those in the southern. It's length travels through some of the more remote parts of the park, and can be quite challenging at times. The southern end of the trail remains mostly level, dodging between the Cuyahoga River and corn fields, while the central section claims slightly more elevation change. The northern end is considerably more rugged, and passes through old and active farms, forests, ravines, and hills, and often runs parallel to the long-distance Buckeye Trail. **Note**: The Valley bridal trail south of SR 303, across from golf course, has been collapsed by the river and is closed until further notice.
