Cuyahoga Valley National Park Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a United States national park that preserves and reclaims the rural landscape along the Cuyahoga River between Akron and Cleveland in Northeast Ohio. The 32,572-acre (51 sq mi; 132 km2) park[1] is administered by the National Park Service and is the only national park in the state of Ohio. Although Cuyahoga Valley was originally designated as a National Recreation Area in 1974, it became a national park 26 years later in 2000. It is one of just seven national parks located in the Midwestern United States region and one of two situated next to the Great Lakes.
Grand Canyon National Park "Grand Canyon" was officially designated a national park on February 26, 1919,[5] though the landmark had been well known to Americans for over thirty years prior.[6] In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site and said: "The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparisonâ€”beyond description; absolutely unparalleled through-out the wide world... Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see."[7]
