This is the station that Station Road connected to the towns on the edges of the valley. We can see part of the Station Road Bridge on the right side of this photo.

"Significance: Built by the Madison Massillon Bridge Company, the bridge represents a comparatively rare example of a double intersection Pratt truss. The bridge is 128.6 feet long and 18.7 feet wide. It served as an important vehicular connection between Summit and Cuyahoga counties until the construction of the nearby Brecksville-Northfield High Level Bridge, which opened in 1931."

The trail in the lower-right corner was the towpath of the Ohio & Erie Canal.

"This rare Whipple truss bridge displays the unique Howe truss portal bracing of the Massillon Bridge Company. The bridge has been preserved in its original location for pedestrian use, the former highway now being a trail in a national park."

The concrete arch bridge has five spans.

A rare view of the Cuyahoga River at the Station Road Bridge Trailhead in Cuyahoga Valley National Park. I think there’s a bridge too if you can spot it. The fisherman is more obvious. And someone finding his or her way on the Towpath in the distance. 😀

Was a great fishing spot till the water dropped 5 feet.
[Some additional comments indicate that some dams were removed.]
