Akron to Cleveland
40.1 miles: 1 hours, 25 minutes
Much of this leg is in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The tree-lined roads run along the Cuyahoga River, Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail and Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. Pull off Riverview Road to watch wildlife from the boardwalk at Beaver Marsh. The outdoors scene changes to a lively urban one in downtown Cleveland: city buildings and sports arenas.
Cleveland to Sandusky
66.2 miles: 2 hours, 2 minutes
Once the city is in your rearview mirror, you’ll start seeing beautiful homes and neighborhoods along much of SR 2/US 6. Picture small-town America. At points along the route, Lake Erie will pop in and out of view between the houses and trees.
