Current News and Announcements

Hike Schedule Changes resulting from construction projects, road or parking lot closures, and the like:

Columbia Road Closure
Columbia Road (252) will be closed where the bridge passes over I 480 beginning Monday, August 7 for at least 70 days. Those who travel south on Columbia to Mastick to Shepherd Lane to reach the Cleveland Metroparks Rocky River Nature Center parking lots will need to travel Butternut Ridge-Columbia-Mastick from the northwest, or Clague-Mastick from the northeast to reach Shepherd Lane and the parking lots.  Gayle [posted 08/04-10/10/23]

Update for Lock 29 Overflow Parking Lot-Cuyahoga Valley National Park
From the CVNP Website:
The Lock 29 parking lot and Overflow lot on Mill Street in Peninsula will be intermittently blocked by the train to allow for boarding. Access to the parking lots will be blocked from:
10:50 am to 11:10 am
1:20 pm to 1:40 pm
3:50 pm to 4:10 pm
These times are subject to change. This temporary delay will allow the park to assist Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad to offer excursions between Akron and Peninsula.
Due to erosion issues along the tracks in some sections north of Peninsula, the train had been running on a modified schedule, and in early March made the decision to stop all operations. The park and CVSR are working together to offer train service beginning May 5, while avoiding areas affected by erosion. The park is working on long-term solutions to address erosion along the tracks and the towpath trail. On March 24, CVSR began moving operations to Peninsula after an independent engineering firm deemed it safe to move equipment only (no passengers) across the track sections most affected by erosion. Learn more about the train on this link. For more places to park along the Towpath Trail to walk or bike into Peninsula check out this page.
