Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Cuyahoga Valley National Park Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio is the only national park in the state. It’s a unique experience. Many privately owned homes and properties are peppered throughout the area. However, the train came first and the town was built up around it. When the area was designated a national park in 2000, so when the national park declared boundaries it had to work around the privately own land and buildings giving it a strange structure.
