SR 87 to Russell Park via Sperry Pond
6.2 miles, 4 hrs
An enchanting trip on a small, flatwater stream, 15-20 feet wide. We’ll paddle upstream from our put-in to visit Sperry Pond, then downstream on a largely channelized river through wetlands and swamp forest. Travel light for lift-overs of trees and beaver dams, and be prepared for mud; at higher water levels this becomes an easy trip. Suitable for novice paddlers and families.

FoCR ANNUAL MEETING, Himelright Lodge at Cascade Valley Metropark

Come join us for a bike ride along the Cuyahoga River! This will be a safe, not-too-strenuous outing in the fascinating Industrial Valley of Cleveland. We'll use the almost completed Towpath Trail for 90% of the riding , with a few short stretches on the street. Our pace will be leisurely as we make several stops to learn about the history of the valley, to read the wayside signage, and to enjoy the spectacular views. The trail is mostly flat, although there are several short but steep hills.
