From hiking and biking to kayaking and horseback riding, there’s something for everyone in Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Initially designated as the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area in 1974, it was renamed Cuyahoga Valley National Park in 2000.
The 33,000-acre national park is located in Summit and Cuyahoga counties, between Akron and Cleveland, and includes a 22-mile stretch of the Cuyahoga River.
It was the seventh-most visited national park in 2020, with 2.8 million visitors, according to the National Park Service.

While iconic trails lace Utah’s mountains and canyons, explore sweet spots in national parks and lead the way to desert hideaways, the state’s most unique trail follows two-lane asphalt roads to the sweetest spots of all. These are the diners, cafes and restaurants that serve pie, the iconic American dessert. The Utah Pie Trail explores southwestern Utah one slice at a time at five stops along a highway loop.
Temporary Closures to Protect Nesting Falcons BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK, TX – Beginning February 1st, the National Park Service (NPS) will temporarily close select areas in the Chisos Mountains to protect nesting falcons.
In August 1999, the Peregrine falcon was removed from the federal endangered species list, a move prompted by the falcon’s comeback from the brink of extinction. However, in Texas it still listed as a threatened species.
National Park Service policies require the protection and preservation of all state-listed species and all species of concern, regardless of federal or state classification. In keeping with this mandate, and to provide the nesting falcons with areas free of human disturbance, the NPS will again temporarily close or place restrictions on the use of certain lands at Big Bend National Park.
