Butterfly Rock on the Cuyahoga River

Kayaking

Kayakers may access the Cuyahoga River through Gorge Metro Park, but only with an approved SPECIAL-USE PERMIT.

Note: A permit by Metro Parks to portage kayaks to the river is neither expressed nor implied approval of kayaking on the Cuyahoga.

Before venturing out, kayakers may want to check out American Whitewater, a Web site with a comprehensive overview of this section of the river.

Fall Foliage
Leaves do not turn color in the fall. They simply stop producing green pigment (chlorophyll), allowing the reds, oranges and yellows to become visible.

Climbin' Canine
The gray fox is the only member of the canine family that can climb trees.
