    Cast away the cellphones and cast a line at the free, annual
    Cleveland Metroparks �Outdoor Odyssey� event on Saturday, October
    13 from noon to 4 p.m. along the Ohio & Erie Canal in Ohio
    & Erie Canal Reservation in Cuyahoga Heights.



    Cleveland Metroparks Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation hosts one
    of many fishing spots in the �Emerald  Necklace.� A one-mile
    stretch of the north portion of the Ohio & Erie Canal is
    managed for sport fishing. Popular fish species which can be caught
    include: bass, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish.



    Children can get the chance to get into the popular recreational
    activity of �sport fishing� and learn fishing skills at �Outdoor
    Odyssey.�



    In addition to fishing, young visitors can also experience
    outdoor recreation with a variety of fun activities, including golf
    and hiking. They can also learn how to fix a flat bicycle tire,
    identify constellations and more!



    When kids arrive, they can pick up a �passport� to begin their
    odyssey and discoveries.  As children complete a station, they
    receive a stamp on their passport.  When they complete at
    least five of the stations, they can redeem their passport for a
    prize!



    A variety of nature and environmental organizations will also be
    on hand with activities and displays.  Kids can meet live
    animals from Lake Erie Nature & Science Center, too!



    Youth Outdoors, a division of Cleveland Metroparks, hosts the
    �Outdoor Odyssey� event annually.  Youth Outdoors is a
    partnership between Cleveland Metroparks, 4-H, the City of
    Cleveland, and The Ohio State University Extension.  It makes
    a difference in the lives of urban youth, ages 8 to 18, in outdoor
    recreation and environmental education programs - by experiencing
    nature, developing outdoor recreation skills, gaining a life-long
    appreciation and understanding of natural resources, and learning
    valuable life skills in achieving goals.



    The entrance to Ohio & Erie Canal Reservation is located on
    Whittlesey Way, off E. 49Street, between Grant Avenue and Canal
    Road in Cuyahoga Hts. - just off the I-77/Grant Ave. exit.
