A great place to start the NP exploration. It's a quaint store, and the staff/rangers are super knowledgeable and helpful about the park. Nice facilities, too.
A must stop and see! Ohio really puts love into their parks and this is a gorgeous newer facility. Plenty of cool stickers to choose from and tons of parking. Nice trails all around as well. And a selfie stand in front of the Natl Park sign? Loved it!
This area is part of the National Parks system and connected to the canal and tow path that runs from Lake Erie south past Akron. In this specific area, about a half square mile (I'm guessing) is filled with places of interest: a visitors center, an "authentic" gasoline station and garage that is used for sports equipment, outbuildings, viewing structures, entry to the canal path, entry to the 1.5 mile hike to Angel Falls, and more. While there is ample parking, there can be so many visitors that there are other large parking areas nearby. People are cordial, and while I was there I noticed everyone observing the courtesies of sharing a park. It was my first visit and I look forward to visiting again, soon, and often
Friendly park rangers ready to assist !
I'm a national park geek so it doesn't take much to impress me when it comes to land that is saved for wildlife, history or recreational use.
