Locals explore the vast Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Much of the land in Steels Corners is part of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, which spans nearly 33,000 acres. “The national park is truly the community’s backyard,” Piper says. People kayak and fish on the Cuyahoga River. There are miles of multiuse trails to explore, including a 20-mile stretch of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, which goes past Beaver Marsh. Once completed, the Towpath Trail will be over 100 miles long. Another popular trail goes along sandstone cliffs known as the Ritchie Ledges. The Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad rides through the park. It puts on themed excursions like the North Pole Adventure, which has holiday-themed train cars like Santa’s Workshop and Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen. Keyser Park is about 2 miles away and includes a playground, basketball and tennis courts.
The Beaver Marsh is accessible from the Ira Trailhead in the CVNP.

Blossom Music Center and Porthouse Theatre are in the park
Resting among the forests of Cuyahoga Valley National Park is Blossom Music Center, an outdoor concert venue. “Residents can catch big-name artists or orchestra performances or have a casual night on the lawn – making it a signature experience without having to travel far,” Piper says. Every summer, the Cleveland Orchestra has a residency called the Blossom Music Festival, which features movies with live scores and guest artists like Laufey. Also on the center’s grounds is Porthouse Theatre, which hosts Kent State University’s summer theatre program and puts on several summer musicals.
Residents also attend the city’s three Heritage Festivals: Cuyahoga Falls Oktoberfest, Festa Italiana and the Riverfront Irish Festival. These weekend-long celebrations have music, dancing and food.

Solo at Sarah’s is a concert series at the winery every Wednesday night from November through April. For more dining options, locals travel to Downtown Cuyahoga Falls. “Downtown Cuyahoga Falls has become a vibrant, walkable district where people come to dine, shop and explore,” Piper says. For a meal along the river, people can go to the American restaurant Burntwood Tavern. Flury’s Cafe is open for breakfast and brunch most of the week. Also downtown is the Natatorium, an indoor gym and aquatic center, and the city’s amphitheater, which hosts the summer concert series.
