Park in Ohio
Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Over 100 miles of hiking trails welcome leashed dogs, plus the flat Towpath Trail. A great park for dogs who are just getting started.

- Leash no longer than 6 feet, at all times.
Off limits for dogs

Good to know, from the park
- Staying on trail and on leash cuts down on poison ivy, ticks and wildlife run-ins.
- Note which trailhead restrooms have water before you set out.
- Take extra care when trails are icy, snowy or muddy.
