The
Ohio & Erie Canal in Summit County (Part 1) |
| The Ohio & Erie Canal enters Summit County through
the Pinery Narrows - a section of the Cuyahoga River Valley that is
only wide enough for the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad, the
Cuyahoga River, the canal, and the Towpath Trail. There are six
locks on this portion of the tour, all of which are intact. None of
them are truly watered. It also features the Brecksville Feeder,
Goose Pond Weir, Brandywine Creek Culvert, Stumpy Basin, and
Peninsula Feeder. The Boston Store sits next to the canal in Boston. |
