The remoteness of this section is quite amazing. The Buckeye Trail passes through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, where waterfalls, a covered bridge, the Ohio & Erie canal and Hale Farm and Village are some of the highlights. The trail leaves the C.V.N.P. and enters the city of Akron. You hike on sidewalks past the 65-room mansion Stan Hywet, abolitionists John Brown's house, the Akron Historical Society’s complex and the Akron zoo. South of Akron the trail continues on the Ohio & Erie towpath into Canal Fulton where you can ride the St. Helena III canal boat or visit the Heritage Society museum. Continue south on the towpath to Crystal Springs and into the Massillon section.
