Heron on the Cuyahoga Valley Trail: The trail goes through a wetland on a wooden boardwalk. An observation platform along the boardwalk provides a place to watch the animals that live in the wetland. This heron watched the observation platform for 20 minutes or so. The towpath of the Ohio and Erie canal has been developed as a trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area, just south of Cleveland, OH. It is being extended to both the north and south as the Ohio and Erie Towpath Trail. (Photo by Mary Shaw; all rights reserved)
