Cuyahoga River

The Cuyahoga River is located in Northeast Ohio. It begins its 100 mile (160 km) journey in Geauga County, then flows south to Cuyahoga Falls where it turns sharply north and runs through Cleveland until it empties into Lake Erie. It also flows through the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, established in 2000 from the Cuyahoga National Recreation Area, which was protected in 1974. The river drains 813 square miles (2,105 km²) of land in portions of six counties. Native Americans referred to the U-shaped river as the Cuyahoga or "crooked river".
