River Paddling Locations
Summit Metro Parks manages access to rivers flowing through its parks. We do not manage or maintain the water trails. People who wish to canoe or kayak the Cuyahoga River or Tuscarawas River in Summit Metro Parks must bring their own equipment. Always be aware of your surroundings, river conditions, hazards, the weather, and the water level. Know your equipment, limits, and skills. Don’t paddle alone: Let someone know your plans and when you expect to return. Paddle at your own risk. You are responsible for your own safety.
To access the Cuyahoga or Tuscarawas Rivers from our parks at locations that are not official stops on a water trail, you must submit a Special-Use Permit.
Please review safety information.
