There are numerous wayside exhibits that provide information about canal features and sites of historic interest. You can preview the exhibit texts and see related photos by selecting them from our list of Towpath Trail sites to visit. If you prefer you may visit them in order from north to south by taking the Towpath Trail virtual tour.

Today you can walk or ride along the same path that the mules used to tow the canal boats loaded with goods and passengers. The scene would have been different then: the canal was full of water carrying a steady flow of boats amongst the constant conversations of "canawlers." You can still see remnants of that former scene as you pass many of the canal locks and related structures. From the vantage point of the Towpath Trail you can also enjoy the beauty of forests, fields, and wetlands flanking the path as it winds its way through the Cuyahoga River
