Stretching beside the Ohio & Erie Canal, the Towpath Trail winds and climbs through four distinct areas: Akron, Barberton, PPG Industries and Clinton. Use the open 21.5-mile recreation pathway to walk, jog, run, hike or bike while taking in the gorgeous sights. Fishing and camping are also allowed along the trail, as well as cross-country skiing during the snowy months.
Built on 70 acres of country estate, the Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens consists of a 65-room manor, the seventh largest house in the US, and ten outdoor gardens. See traditional English and Japanese gardens without ever leaving the country, or visit the conservatory to learn more about the rare plants this facility grows.
