Cuyahoga River Reservoir Access

Northampton Point is a newly developed access point on Akron-Peninsula Road in Cuyahoga Falls offering safe entry and exit to the Cuyahoga River at the 36. 7-mile marker.

The facility features a dedicated parking lot, ADA-accessible restroom, changing room, river trail maps, and a short walking trail to a sandy shoal suitable for canoes and kayaks.

This calm stretch of river is ideal for beginners and families paddling between the Valley View area and the Gorge Dam, filling a critical six-mile gap in safe access points along Ohio's designated water trail.
