Hike to Contour Falls

This hike begins at the trail-head of Cuyahoga National Park. Once arrived, you will cross a bridge overlooking the Cuyahoga River. You will take the tow-path left, and follow it under the Route 82 bridge (you will pass a manmade waterfall on your right, but still have 0.4 miles to go). You will take this path for about 0.5 miles until you reach a stream that flows into the river on the right. There are two streams that flow into the river, and you will need to reach the second one. Once spotted, you will need to wade through the water, which is rather shallow. After you are on the other side of the river, you will need to begin hiking upstream. Along the way, be sure to stop and take in the sights around you, it is amazing! Roughly 1/8 of a mile into your hike, you will come to a fork en-route. Make sure you take the path that leads right. Follow the stream for another 1/8 of a mile, and you will arrive at your destination, Contour Falls! This hike is rather challenging, so make sure you are prepared by wearing the appropriate attire, it is well worth getting a little muddy!
