The Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath: Peninsula Loop offers a delightful and easy touring cycling experience, winding through the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park. You'll glide along a mostly flat, crushed limestone path, enjoying views of the tranquil Cuyahoga River and passing historic canal remnants that tell tales of a bygone era. This 13.6-mile (21.9 km) route, with just 380 feet (116 metres) of elevation gain, is perfect for a relaxed ride, taking approximately 1 hour and 17 minutes to complete.
For planning your visit, the village of Peninsula provides convenient parking and amenities. The trail is open around the clock within the national park, but remember to bring helmet lights if you're cycling after dark. A fun option is to ride part of the way and catch the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad for your return, offering a unique perspective of the landscape.
This loop is part of the much larger Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, which follows the historic route once used by mules pulling canal boats. Its location within Cuyahoga Valley National Park means you're immersed in a protected natural area, with opportunities to spot wildlife, especially near spots like Beaver Marsh. Don't miss a stop at Szalay's Farm & Market, a popular highlight along the way.
