Just east of Point 5 in the Akron Section, the National Park Service (NPS) has opened a new pedestrian bridge for crossing the Cuyahoga River. This changes the description of the trail at Point 5 and updates the Akron map edition of November 2021. The description is as follows:
5. Footpath at Riverview Rd Near Boston Mills Road
Continue straight (Northeast) across Riverview Road and follow the paved footpath to the National Park Service Visitors’ Center. After crossing the railroad tracks, turn slightly right (Southeast) to cross the new pedestrian bridge over the Cuyahoga River. Follow the marked yellow path through the cul-de-sac to Ohio Erie Canal Towpath Trail (OECTT). Turn right (Southeast) onto OECTT. At the request of the NPS the OECTT is not blue blazed; please see NPS posts on OECTT for directions. Continue to follow the OECTT as it generally goes along the right bank of the Cuyahoga River, as described in the remainder of the Point 5 description.
