 Ohio & Erie Canal towpath coming into Cleveland – foto by Smith Lady found a paved bike & hike path that follows the old Ohio & Erie Canal towpath. The canal was dug in 1827 to transport goods between Cleveland and Akron and beyond, before the railroads took over in the 1860s. Great place to ride. The start of the paved path is one block south, while the MetroPark canal / nature portion is only a mile or two further. Today we saw 32 rabbits, two bright red cardinals, three red-winged blackbirds, three dozen geese, seven ducks, and a badger-like animal with a long wide thick low body that was too fast for me to identify.

Built with the blood and tears of Irishmen just over from the Old Country. Nobody else would hire them.
