Trail treasures: Discover the Valley View Area

The Valley View Area offers amazing scenic views on a misty morning.

The Valley View Area of Cascade Valley Metro Park is the park district’s newest park area and offers so much to enjoy. At the Cuyahoga River overlook during a foggy morning, stand and imagine what is around the riverbend of this newly restored treasure.

Summit Metro Parks protects and conserves land — but we don’t stop there. Thanks to generous grant funding, we have had opportunities to return places like Valley View to their native form for all to enjoy. We invite you to see for yourself the array of renewed life from the 1.6-mile Celebration Trail that opened last fall. Signage along the way will help guide and enhance your journey.
