So I stopped at my childhood stomping grounds today in Akron, OH. This trail is part of the Ohio Metro Parks system which is located outside of the Cuyahoga Falls National Park. This 2.5 mile round trip hike, the Gorge trail, consisted of rock outlays and overhangs, a cave, and a ripping man made waterfall. I have always had fond memories of these parks and I was even more impressed after this visit 20 years later. There is a small mowed field good for picnics. The whole trail is shaded. Take the stones to walk across the bottom of the waterfall, take a dip in the water or just catch some rays in one of the many sunny areas.
