North Canton is half an hour from the south end of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and that drive earns most of what this page offers. Brandywine Falls runs 65 feet over layered rock ledges, a 1.5-mile loop with 160 feet of gain. Blue Hen and Buttermilk add more walking in the same valley, a mile and a half and a mile. Keep going north for Bridal Veil Falls at 20 feet, then the village of Chagrin Falls, where the water passes right through downtown. Fourteen listings sit in range and nearly all of them allow dogs, so load up the car.

Located at 40.8742°N, -81.3971°W
