Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail
 |
In 1989, a group of
individuals representative of various organizations and municipalities
along the Ohio & Erie Canal came together to form the Ohio &
Erie Canal Corridor Coalition.
The mission of the Coalition was to stimulate
public interest and support for the protection, preservation, development
and enhancement of the historical, natural and recreational resources
along the route of the Ohio & Erie Canal.
With that in mind, the Coalition set about to
secure funding for the development of hike and bike trails along
various sites of this historic transportation system. |
On October 16, 2002, the Franklin Trailhead, located
on Center Road, was dedicated. The Towpath Trail is under the authority
of the Summit County MetroParks. Additional information can be obtained
via the Internet, at www.summitmetroparks.org.
