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.

Tastes Like Feet
A butterfly's sense of taste is in its feet.

In the Dugout
The tuliptree has one of the most perfectly straight trunks in the forest. American Indians often used the wood to make dugout canoes.
