š³ Cuyahoga Valley National Park ā A Leisurely Day in Nature
ćCuyahoga Valley National Parkć CVNP isnāt your typical national parkāitās close to the city and doesnāt even have campsites. But itās quiet, easy to explore, and requires no advance planningā¦ making it perfect for a spontaneous weekend forest walk! š²š£ š¤ļø Boston Mill Visitor Center This is the heart of the park. Grab a map, get your NP passport stamped š, and enjoy flat trails along the old canal and train tracks. You can even hop on a scenic railway here! š š Everett Covered Bridge A charming red covered bridge that feels straight out of a fairy tale š§āØārare and wonderfully nostalgic. š¦ Brandywine Falls The most famous spot in the park! A 65-inch waterfall with visible rock layers. The wooden boardwalk loop is only 0.5 milesāsuper easy and suitable for everyone. š šŖµ Beaver Marsh Trail We loved the peaceful vibe hereāa boardwalk winding through wetlands, far from the noise. So tranquil and refreshing. š š Szalayās Farm & Market A lively local farm selling fresh produce and sweet treats š¦š. We enjoyed ice cream while relaxing on their shaded rocking chairsāpure chill vibes! āļøš§ŗ š” Accommodation Rec We stayed at an Airbnb in Brecksville, just minutes north of the park. Highly recommend! š„ Backyard had a fire pit and hot tub surrounded by trees. At night, we made sāmores, sipped drinks, stargazed, and listened to the cricketsā¦ a perfect forest summer night āØš š² This whole trip felt relaxed and unstructuredāless like checking off a national park, and more like wandering through a forest that almost felt like ours. #HikingTheWorld #USNationalParks #Ohio #Cleveland #WeekendGetaway
