Plan Your Own Adventure

There are tons of things to do and see along our 26 miles of track. Click on the link below to discover some of our favorites. 

Along the Tracks

A journey through Ohio's wild side!

Wind through breathtaking forests, spot native wildlife, and feel the pulse of the Cuyahoga Valley. Then watch the landscape shift as the train rolls into the heart of Akron and Cleveland where nature meets skyline. It's more than a train ride, it's an iconic adventure waiting to be discovered. 

 

Guests may choose from two ride options to best fit their schedule and interests. The Classic 24-mile, round-trip ride departs from either the Rockside Depot or the Akron Northside Depot and lasts approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes. This leisurely journey offers ample time to relax, connect with loved ones, and take in the ever-changing landscape as the train travels through forests, open meadows, and alongside the winding Cuyahoga River.

For guests seeking a shorter adventure, our Express rides depart from the Peninsula Depot and travel round trip either north to Rockside Depot and back or south to Akron Northside Depot and back. These rides last approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, making them a perfect option for families with small children, first-time riders, or guests with limited time who still want to experience the magic of the railroad.

The Café Car is available on all rides, offering guests the opportunity to purchase a selection of snacks, soft drinks, beer, wine, and unique souvenirs to enhance their journey. Whether you’re enjoying a light refreshment or picking up a keepsake to remember your trip, the Café Car adds an extra layer of comfort and convenience to your rail experience.

A variety of seating options are available. Wheelchair accessible seating is available in the Karen C. Cooper car.  Call 234-759-0092 for more information and to purchase tickets for this car.
