Fall 2026 Hiking Series
🍁 Our annual Fall Hiking Series is back. Twelve dates, eleven hikes, and some of the best trails Cuyahoga Valley National Park has to offer — right as the color peaks. Come out for one or come out for all of them.
Before your first hike:
✍️ Arrive a few minutes early. We have sign-in sheets at every trailhead so we can track your completed hikes and start on time.
📜 Everyone needs a signed waiver. Grab one at the trailhead, or download it ahead of time.
🥾 No sign-up, no fee. Just show up.
