    Cuyahoga River by boat
     
    This guided tour focuses on the history of the river valley that has left its mark on Cleveland. The river continues to be a lifeline running through the middle of our thriving city, bringing together industry, transportation and entertainment. Both the scars and the monuments left by our industrial history will be discussed as well as the plans for the future of this area.
     
    History tours are offered on most Tuesday and Thursday evenings from mid-May through September.

    Tickets are $15 per person and must be purchased in advance. Call 216-206-1000 for more information.
     
    Nature by boat
     
    This guided tour focuses on the wildlife that continues to eke out an existence among the factories, bridges and restaurants. We will slow down and look for the wildlife that can be found along the river. Some species never left the area, others have made a remarkable recovery, while still others are only here to make a cameo appearance. We never know which species will be out any given evening.
     
    Nature tours are offered on most Wednesday evenings from mid-May through September.
     
    Individual tickets typically go on sale the last week of the previous month. Tickets are $15 per person and must be purchased in advance. Visit clevelandmetroparks.com or call 216 -206 -1000 for more information. For dates, times and registration call 216-206-1000.
