Fall Flyer

IMPORTANT MESSAGE

The National Park Service (NPS) has closed portions of the tracks used by Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) due to significant erosion from the Cuyahoga River.

The Cleveland Dinner & Event train will run as scheduled and all other excursions have been cancelled at this time. 

Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad will be providing limited train excursions.  Please check this website often for updates.  The North Pole Adventure is not cancelled at this time.

The Cuyahoga River is a dynamic system, and it is constantly changing. The NPS is committed to continually assessing track conditions, especially near the river, and maintaining the tracks for safe train operations. The areas of concern were identified this past spring, and an engineering firm is already in place to address key problem areas.

The modifications to operations will remain in place while NPS and CVSR wait for additional information and explore options for returning to normal.

We will keep our customers updated daily. Please visit our website often and our social media pages. In the event of a cancellation, customers will receive an automatic refund.

 

Climb aboard the Fall Flyer! The Fall Flyer excursion is the best way to enjoy fall and take in the sweeping views of the changing leaves in Cuyahoga Valley National Park from a one-of-a-kind vantage point.
