City of Cuyahoga Falls Rock Climbing

This climbing area is located in High Bridge Glens Park in the City of Cuyahoga Falls. The small area is located below the boardwalk in the Park, and is unique in the fact that you park in the city with abundant businesses and walk down the boardwalk to a great view of the Cuyahoga River and surrounding cliffs. It is hard to determine that State Route 8 is just across the river on top of the cliff. The sound of the fast water, which kayakers love, overcomes the sounds of the city. It feels like an isolated wilderness area at the base of the climbs, with the sound of the water and the cliffs rising on both sides of the river. The boardwalk also offers a view of the “Weeping Wall” which is directly across the river and is always wet.

This area is also unique in the fact that the City’s Mayor contacted the Ohio Climbers Coalition (OCC) about the possibility of rock climbing on city property. Usually, the OCC contacts the landowner, and over a lengthy process, a decision is made. The Mayor, Fire Chief and his staff, and local businesses have welcomed climbing to the area.

High Bridge Glens Park is open daily from 6am - 10:00pm.
The area officially opened for climbing on July 2nd, 2022
