What To Expect

Canal Exploration Center

Canal Exploration Center is housed inside an old canal-side tavern. And outside, sits a reconstructed canal lock. The center is open five days a week, Wednesday through Sunday. But only from June through October. It has interactive exhibits that are fun for all ages and covers the complete history of the canal.

Great Falls of Tinkers Creek

The Great Falls of Tinkers Creek can be found in Viaduct Park. A viaduct is a kind of bridge, supported by arches or columns.

Frazee House and Trailhead

The Frazee House was one of the first brick structures in the valley. It was built in the 1820s, in the Federal style, by Stephen and Mehitable Frazee. For the time period, it was actually kind of a dream home. But because Ohio was still technically the frontier, there weren’t any skilled laborers who could build this kind of house. So, the family did it themselves! They even made the bricks out of mud and clay from their backyard. Today, the house is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Chippewa Creek Gorge Overlook

The Chippewa Creek Gorge was carved by glaciers during the last major ice age. The top layer of rock is made up of Berea Sandstone, which was also used in the construction of the nearby Brecksville Nature Center.

Hale Farm & Village

The Hale Farm & Village is a living history museum where you can interact with volunteers dressed in period attire, and explore 32 historical structures.

Beaver Marsh

Beaver Marsh is a wetland created by beavers after they dammed a portion of the old canal. Amazingly, the wetland actually used to be an auto salvage yard, back in the 1970s. Volunteers from a local branch of the Sierra Club cleaned it up in the 80s, and wildlife did the rest.

Hunt House Visitor Center

The Hunt House offers child-friendly nature exhibits and information about nearby attractions. It’s also a resting place for those hiking the Towpath Trail. Next door is a popular farm market, open in the summer and fall.

Everett Covered Bridge

The original Everett Covered Bridge was built in the 1800s and was one of about 2,000 at the time. It is now the last surviving covered bridge in Summit County. After being damaged in a series of floods, the bridge was rebuilt in 1986. Some people say the bridge is haunted by the ghost of a farmer who drowned trying to cross the creek.

The park in of itself was nice - the app was a disaster - the talking did not line up with the reference points. I was under the impression it would be the same as the previous two I had purchased. Shaka Guide should get pointers from Action.

There were 3 road closures that took us way off the tour track. Very difficult to find our way back on the track. Missed several key sites including Brandywine falls. Know it’s not the apps fault but was disappointing.

Enjoyed the narration and hints. It was not clear where to start… four possibilities. Well worth the discounted Viator rate.
