Cuyahoga Valley has a long history of leisure and recreation. In the late 1800s, people took pleasure rides through the valley on canal boats, carriages, and the railway. In the early 1900s, Cleveland and Akron created Ohio's first countywide park districts, and rural land was bought for recreation. The Civilian Conservation Corps built park amenities during the Great Depression, which people still enjoy today. Within decades, the valley was filled with public parks, family-friendly farms, and youth camps. Camp Mueller, operating from 1941 to 2022, became one of the first African American outdoor camps in the nation. The valley continues to attract visitors for recreation, entertainment, and wellness.
