Honey, this is a national park?!

We finally made the trip to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park yesterday. I must admit it was not quite what we envisioned it to be. There was no proper boundary to the park and it was strange having private/ residential property and schools peppered along the way. No doubt there was plenty of greenery and  trails/towpaths for cyclists and trekkers but there was nothing of real scenic value there. Brandywine falls which was a highlight of the park was pleasant but not impressive. Another highlight was the Ohio and Erie canal towpath trail which saw many cyclists. It made a nice walk but the weather was pretty warm and we decided to turn back after a short while. I guess it is okay if you are staying nearby but I wouldn't encourage anyone from out of state to make a special trip here. All in all, this probably ranks as the most disappointing national park we have seen so far. But hubs and I did spend some good quality time together and that's all that matters, right? =)
