Biking Ohio: The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath

Published 2022-09-16
The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail is an amazing trail journey that takes users from the heart of this country’s industrial might in cities like Cleveland and Akron, to some of the most beautiful places in this part of the world, like Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

As closely as possible, the Towpath Trail follows a historical canal where mules once pulled boats from 1827 to 1913. Our trip took us about 42 miles – from Cleveland to Akron. Once in Akron we took the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad back to the end of the train line.

This trail is part of the 3,700 mile cross country Great American Rail Trail.

This trip took place on August 21, 2022.

  • We also have remnants of a portion of the Ohio Canal here in Newark, Ohio. Mainly just a lock they dug back up and restored. Also, in Heath next to Newark is the groundbreaking site for the Ohio Canal.
  • Great ride. Funny thing is we just did a ride at the Roanoke canal trail. Much shorter but still an interesting ride. Haven’t even started editing it yet lol and here you go with a huge canal. Great job.

    Very scenic and beautiful trail. Will definitely put the Towpath on my list. How did you buy the train tickets back to Boston?
