I liked you’re ending with what you said “this is how you re wild it” profound!

[@LeeHawkinsPhoto]

Well done overview of the park! I’ve been to 34 of the nation’s national parks and I’m a local to CVNP. I really like your honest and positive take on this park...it definitely is weird...but it’s silly to me to think that every national park has to have the grandeur of the Western parks. Parks are for people, and aren’t so much just about the land. This is a unique place to have preserved, and I agree that it is an important one. Had this park not been created, it’s likely this land would just have been superfund sites and cookie-cutter subdivisions instead.

I grew up in northwest Pennsylvania so I've visited CVNP a lot. It's a charming and unique place that I have to admit I came around on. I think it's extremely important in terms of the future of conservation, especially around cities. It's a worthwhile place that I'm glad was preserved and highlighted as a National Park. Thanks for the comment!

[@notinamerica_911]

The thought is nauseating to think about. We need to protect wild places from the ravages of greed.

[@dvferyance]

Many don't know there are mountains near Cleveland.

[@MbisonBalrog]

I was just in Cleveland in November. I did not even know this existed. I am so bummed I missed seeing this.

[@estiefranks6468]

This looks really interesting. I would love to go there someday.

[@nathanielavoures1596]

This is actually part of the applachains being mini mountains similar to the Hocking hills has some of the best whitewater its so good i almost started a kayaking business however my heart was still searching for the woman i lost my ex wife so i just keeped driving across the country and saw beautiful places which helped heal the nasty blow of a divorce!

[@Zugunru]

Excellent overview of the park, thanks!

[@GetBusyThriving]

Great overview of this park. Thanks for all the useful information 🙏🏼

[@bernie6094]

CVNP is one of my most fav parks in the USA.Many memories there, very well done video and thank you so much for this. Love the views

[@atravelpath]

Thanks for such a super detail review, this is our first stop on our two month long trip we are taking in a few weeks and this was very useful.

[@dyates6380]

This is right in my backyard, and now that I'm retired I'll be checking it out this spring and summer. Looking forward to it, and thanks for this video.

[@solarhawk77]

Beautifully done, as always! I really enjoy seeing your passion for these gems show what elegance awaits in the national parks.

[@megatheriumclub]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoy these videos!

[@marydalton5752]

Excellent presentation of the CVNP!

[@TucsonArizona]

Really beautiful area! Never heard of it before this. Thanks for posting!

[@megatheriumclub]

Thanks for checking it out! I'll have to get to making a Saguaro video in the near future.

[@KaraJadePhoto]

Nice! Glad we got to visit here a few years ago. Excellent video. Keep up the great work!

[@KaraJadePhoto]

Also, I really enjoy the ledges area. I could spend a while there trying to find patterns and angles in the rocks.

[@ldhagen3628]

This video is super well done. Like the other commenter, I've been to 30-some parks so far. This was going to be a park we fit in sometime when we are passing through but I'm now excited to spend time there. Its great to know some history and know what to expect. A neighbor works for the NPS doing historic renovation project management and it'll be fun to chat with him about Cuyahoga.

[@megatheriumclub]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's certainly a park that I think is helped with a little knowledge before visiting. It's different, but a worthwhile place to visit for sure.

[@kayd731]

How was your trip?

[@notinamerica_911]

Love this video I live in Bath and can say CVNP is a real gem we love it!! We feel so fortunate to live in our home in this beautiful area in OH.

[@FollowThomas]

I'm gonna visit this national park on my month-long traveling this spring. Well done video. Great channel I need to dig in more. Thanks 👍

[@megatheriumclub]

Welcome aboard!

[@FollowThomas]

@@megatheriumclub You're welcome! I've been bike touring all over Florida but this is going to be my month long Amtrak and bike trip. So the plan is to bike from Cleveland to Cuyahoga by Ohio to Erie bike trail, it goes right through park. Is there are anything I shouldn't miss while there? What's the biggest attraction?

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

This park is located in the north- eastern part of Ohio.The park covers an area of 133,33 km. The name of the park comes from the walley of the Cuyahoga River floving through the park.National Park offers a diverse array of activities .Whether you prefer attending rauger- guided programs or exploring...I visited it once in my life over the weekend, I think I will come back here again. It's a long way from Chicago. Thanks for the interesting video and news. Greetings to the entire state, the people of Columbus.

[@daveburch235]

Excellent narration!

[@megatheriumclub]

Glad you liked it!

[@skpjoecoursegold366]

thanks.

[@megatheriumclub]

You're welcome

[@NationalParkDiaries]

We're thinking of planning a trip here for the fall. Do you think it's doable in a weekend? Great video also!

[@megatheriumclub]

Yes, definitely. Very doable in two days if you're serious about doing it.

[@NationalParkDiaries]

@@megatheriumclub awesome, thanks!

[@minkademko2335]

Nice

[@kayd731]

Im going tomorrow!! ☺

[@megatheriumclub]

Tell me how you liked it!

[@kayd731]

@@megatheriumclub omg I know its been 5 months but it was pretty good. We got losted a bit and didn't get to do everything I wanted to. I live 45 minutes away so I will be coming back.

[@ooglemonster]

If I were to come stay nearby to explore the whole park, how many days would you say it would take? Thank you.

[@megatheriumclub]

You could force it in one whole day, but two days would be enough to see all the highlights. If you want to bike all the trails and hike a lot you could do it all in 3-4 at most.

[@MbisonBalrog]

Are there any fauna in the park?

[@megatheriumclub]

There is a little wildlife. Mostly deer and smaller. No bears, bison, elk, wolves, or anything like that.

[@ChrisCapoccia]

You can also take a one-way bike trip and ride back on the train. Bikes get loaded into a dedicated car

[@debralynnbailey6527]

There 5 site to camp in the NP

[@kayd731]

They don't have camping anymore

[@AllThingsConsidered333]

Is this a place one could bring someone in a wheelchair & walk around a bit?

[@unkolawdio]

Go with me

[@rosesmith6208]

unfortunatly all this advertising of our parks make them to popular and crowded especially on the weekend. other parks are having the same problem.

[@chrispileski6640]

You have something on your nose....

[@augusthavince8909]

Cayahogo National Park does not have wild camping. BOOOOOO!!!

[@pinkfreud62]

To be honest, I'm surprised it's a National park at all. It used to be a state park & I think that's the status it represents. It's beautiful, but I'm someone who's been to many NP, I'd be disappointed if I drove hundreds of miles to see woods you can see in most states. At least it's free.

[@Heyemeyohsts]

If this park was in New York there would be graffiti everywhere
