Current News and Announcements

Hike Schedule Changes resulting from construction projects, road or parking lot closures, and the like.  Note: the online daily and monthly schedules buttons and links are not updated with the changes:

Cuyahoga Valley National Park Lock 29 Parking Closure

The Cuyahoga Valley National Park will be closing the Lock 29 parking lot and river access in Peninsula from June 24 to December 1 while the contractors complete riverbank stabilization work. Parking will be available at other nearby locations. The Lock 29 Overflow parking lot will remain open during this time. Visitors will still have access to the Towpath Trail and amenities in the Village of Peninsula.
The park is continuing a riverbank stabilization project to protect the tracks for Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad and the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. The Towpath Trail closure south of Station Road is still in effect on weekdays as part of this ongoing work. The Towpath north of Station Road is closed 24/7 through June 28 for resurfacing and restoring the trail surface following the completion of the riverbank work at that location.
The closures are necessary for public safety while contractors use heavy equipment to complete the work.

Hikes at Highland PA in the Euclid Creek Reservation

These are hike location changes from Bob DiVincenzo and from Robin Leichtman.
Because of some issues with the parking lot at the Highland PA in the Euclid Creek Reservation, the next 7 hikes scheduled for the Highland PA will move to the Kelly PA. The Kelly PA is located at the top of Euclid Creek Parkway about a half mile from the Green Road entrance (across from the Police Station).
If we run out of spaces at the Kelly PA the overflow parking will be at the Quarry PA. The entrance to the Quarry PA is about 200' south of the Kelly PA. All of the hikes will swing by the Quarry PA to pick up any members who needed to park there.
The affected hikes are:
7/13/24 Hike 16 (Bob)
7/17/24 Hike #16 (Robin)
7/20/24 Hike #15 (Bob)
7/25/24 Hike #22 (Robin)
7/28/24 Hike #16 (Bob)
