Steam & Excursion > Cuyahoga Valley question

Cuyahoga Valley runs through a park in Ohio, correct?  Is there a public access trail that runs parallel to the tracks?

Not trying to be a .... but a simple look at the map would show an answer

OK, so the roadway I see on the maps is a vehicle road, and not just a bike trail?

You might also try Riverview Road which parallels the tracks for a long distance. There are several parking areas available from Riverview Road.

It is surprising no one else has posted this, but the National Park Service website for the Cuyahoga Valley National Park has several maps showing the location of trails in the park.  Per the following webpage, the Boston - Everett map shows a trail very close to the rail line.

If your looking to Chase the steam in the valley, Good Luck. There will be a plentiful amount of cars out on the road. Also there is alot of 25 and 35 mph seep limits within the park.  I am pretty sure the steam trips will Originate from Rockside Road Station and operate south. From Rockside to Jaite there is nothing close to the roads. Only down near Boston Mills and south of Peninsula. It will get very congested to say the least. BEST OPTION is to Purchase a Ticket and Support The Parks and Ft Wayne Historical Society.

I doubt the original poster's intent is to chase anything as the question was specifically about trails, not roads.
