Towpath Trail
Towpath Trail
Previously home to an unused marina and industrial scenery, Scranton Flats is now a natural amenity featuring 9 acres of restored meadowland, a two-acre fish habitat, a large section of restored natural river shoreline, a river boardwalk and the Towpath Trail.
Easily accessible via a trailhead with public parking at Sokolowski’s Overlook and the connection to the Cleveland Foundation Centennial Trail, this section of the Towpath Trail is a popular location for its natural amenities and its spectacular views of the downtown Cleveland skyline.
Completed in 2014, Scranton Flats was Stage 4 of the Cuyahoga County portion of the Towpath Trail Extension Project and the first publicly funded section of that project. Scranton Flats was the first connection between downtown Cleveland and the southern portion of the Towpath.
