Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
History |
CUYAHOGA
RIVER VALLEY PARK
The
Cuyahoga River Valley on either side of the river from Babb Run east
and northeast to Water Works Park a distance of over six miles is a
challenge to anyone with an exploring mind. You pass through the
Metropolitan Park area with entrances at State Road, or on a path
between the houses at 1728 and 1738 Highbridge Road, or Front Street
at the bridge or on a path just north of the American Legion Hall at
1601 Front Street. This area from Babb Run to the Legion Hall is full
of paths for explorers and rocky ledges with eye pleasing formations.
Included in this section is Mary
Campbell Cave
and the original Big
Falls is now the
spillway for the Ohio Edison 70 foot high concrete dam. On the south
bank just west of State road to Front Street is the old Chuckery built
in the 1840's, but was filled in and leveled off for street car tracks
and is an ideal walk to observe the north bank across the river.
