We made it a girls (and dogs) trip and had a great time!
The park was established in 1974 and then designated a national park in 2000. It’s unique in that is has no entry fee. It is kind of funny because part of the reason I wanted to go was because I have an all parks pass for all the national parks in the country. We bought it in Utah and I wanted to make use of it before it expired by going to Cuyahoga. Jokes on me, I guess!
We drove up Friday afternoon - about 3 1/2 hours. Since we had our doggos with us, I used the site Bring Fido to find places to eat with our dogs. I stumbled upon The Doodle Drive In which is honestly a whole vibe! It’s set up kind of like Sonic so you can eat in your car or place an order and take it to a table. They have a whole fenced in area for doggies and their humans. Dogs must remain on a leash, but it was a great set up! When we arrived they also had live music. Highly recommend this place!
Saturday: We started the day at Station Road Bridge and walked some of the trail there.
We then went to Brandywine Falls which I think is one of the top things to see at the park.
After that we did some of the Ledges trail. This was cool because they had some unique rock formations and an “ice box.” I guess the technical icebox cave is closed due to conservation, but if you go in some of the cracks, you can feel how cool (temperature wise ) it is!!
We stopped at Green valley brewing company for lunch and then Handel’s homemade ice cream for a midday snack.
We then hit Bridal Veil Falls before taking a little rest at the hotel before dinner.
The Richfield brewing company was great for dinner and allowed us to dine with our dogs on the patio. They even provided buckets of water for the dogs which was cute! Good food too!
On Sunday we drove to Kendall Lake before heading home. There’s a nice trail (actually multiple trails) that you can choose from! Very pretty!
