Historical Spots

Canal Basin Park is the northern most point of the Towpath Trail. This spot along the Cuyahoga River is where the canal and river met. When the canal was complete in 1832, the canal basin is where Cleveland’s agricultural products were shipped eastward to New York City and where the manufactured items were unloaded for Cleveland consumers.

The trailhead at Canal Basin Park is home to a 70 car paid parking lot. Fee for a full day of parking is $5 unless otherwise noted for special event. Overnight parking is not permitted.
