Introduction
Unlike many other National Parks that have significant restrictions on where dogs can go and what they are allowed to do, Cuyahoga Valley National Park is exceptionally open, allowing dogs to join their owners on all 125 miles of trails that crisscross the park, coursing through woods, wetlands, fields and streams. As such, this gorgeous midwestern park provides ample space to explore through hiking, camping, snowshoeing and even fishing throughout the length of the year, each season with its own views, options and of course, weather. So if you're in north-central Ohio and looking for a place to get a piece of nature with your canine companion, we've got you covered.
