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.

Good Luck, Guys
After mating, the female praying mantis will often eat her mate.

Butterfly Bio
Most butterflies only live a short time during warmer months. However, mourning cloaks hibernate as adults and then mate in early spring.
