Boston Store Visitor Center is the national park’s information hub. A short video is available upon request. In summer, it is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Other seasons vary. Walk or cycle in either direction along the firm, flat Towpath Trail to explore the river and canal. From Boston, travel by road or trail to otherphoto-worthy waterfalls. Blue Hen Falls is a steep half-mile walk down from its small parking lot.
At 60 feet, Brandywine Falls is the second highest in Ohio. A boardwalk off the parking lot leads to upper (wheelchair accessible) and lower observation platforms. Hikers can continue on a 1.4-mile loop into the gorge below. In Peninsula, just south of Boston, visitors can stroll the historic downtown, dine, and browse unique shops. You can buy walk-up train tickets at Peninsula Depot. Next door, Trail Mix Peninsula provides visitor information and sells souvenirs, clothing, and food.
The Cuyahoga River snakes down the length of its tranquil valley. Three transportation routes link popular sites along this spine: the America’s Byway, the Towpath Trail, and Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. For trip planning help in the north, stop at Canal Exploration Center. Find out how the Ohio & Erie Canal helped shape the nation through interactive exhibits. Hours vary seasonally. Nearby Rockside Station sells walk-up train tickets. (Click cvsr.com for advance sales.)
Purchase a day pass or use the seasonal Bike Aboard! service to explore Cuyahoga Valley in unique ways. Drivers can take a short side trip to visit Bridal Veil Falls. Managed by Cleveland Metroparks, this spectacular cascading waterfall is a photographers’ favorite. A lovely river view is farther south at Station Road Bridge Trailhead. Brecksville Nature Center, another metropark side trip, is popular with families. It is open daily (except someholidays), 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Canal Exploration Center
