• Resumen

  • Creation of the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area (CVNRA) began in 1974, with the aim of encompassing 32 000 acres in the Cuyahoga River Valley, northern Ohio. By 1986 only 14 000 acres had been acquired � little over 40% of the planned total. The land acquisition aspects of the park plans have not run smoothly, and many problems have been encountered while changing private holdings over to the public domain. This article looks at the events surrounding the founding and creation of the park, and the current state of landownership within the CVNRA. Will the park ever be completed?
