The formerly closed areas in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park are now open.
Earlier this year, a pair of bald eagles made their home near the Station Road Bridge Trailhead in Brecksville, and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park put restrictions on nearby areas to protect their nest from visitors. The park reports in a press release that the eagles successfully hatched and raised one eaglet. The eaglet has now fledged, which means it can fly, and the restrictions have been lifted. The railroad tracks and the right of way near the trail are now open, and the Cuyahoga River from the Brecksville Dam to the Fitzwater Road Bridge is open to water activities, like boating and fishing, according to the release. Those areas had been closed to the public while the eagles were raising the eaglet. The Cleveland Metroparks …

The Cleveland Metroparks shared some photos of the bald eagles in their nest on its Facebook page.
The park has some restrictions in place through July to protect the area the eagles typically nest in.
The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is asking hikers to respect some of the park’s other visitors this winter: the bald eagles that staff suspect have settled into a nest near the Station Road Bridge Trailhead in Brecksville. According to the park’s website, bald eagles have been building a nest in the Pinery Narrows area since 2006. Prior to that year, bald eagles hadn’t built a nest in Cuyahoga County—at least one that was spotted and recorded—in more than 70 years.
