I say this all the time, but Chris and I are super lucky to have a national park within a 20-minute drive from our house. While it is a popular place to visit mainly in the summer months, there are plenty of things to do in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in the winter!
Temperatures get super cold during the months of January and February here in northeast Ohio, but if you bundle up, you can really enjoy Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) at its least visited and most magical time! Whether you want to try snowshoeing for the first time or want to go for a brisk winter hike, we’ve got all the top things to do in CVNP during the winter in this podcast episode!
