Treadway Creek Trail Description

The Treadway Creek Trail is a paved, 8-foot-wide multiuse pathway that connects with the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. The route crosses several streams and there are six lookout areas with benches and interpretive signage.

From Harmody Park in Old Brooklyn, the trail meanders north through the woods to Crestline Avenue where it turns northeast and follows Jennings Road until it reaches Lower Harvard Avenue. The trail continues east on Lower Harvard Avenue until it connects with the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail in Cuyahoga Heights. 

Parking and Trail Access

Parking is available at the Harvard Avenue Trailhead, which is shared with Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. Visit the TrailLink map for detailed directions.

Treadway Creek Trail Reviews

A Nice Descent Into the Cuyahoga Valley

The Treadway Creek Trail is the easternmost of a series of short trails that connect the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail with the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. You must ride about a quarter of a mile south on Jennings Road from the Towpath (at the corner of Jennings Rd & Harvard Ave.) to reach the trail's start on Crestline Ave. From there you will climb about 80 feet in elevation over the next half mile to the trail's end in Harmody Park. As mentioned by another TrailLink reviewer, at some point, "Kids will likely walk bikes up."

This is a nice little trail. It runs up a ravine to reach the top of the valley wall. The trail is shaded and lush with foliage. So much so, that you are completely unaware of the homes that surround the upper half of the trail until you actually reach Harmody Park. My biggest complaint is that the on-street connection needed to reach the Brighton Park All-Purpose Trail and the way to the Cleveland Metropark Zoo is not marked with signs. If I had not had the TrailLink app I would not have been able to figure out how to find my way to the zoo.

Nice but.........

This trail needs some much-needed maintenance, fallen tree across the path 5/15/24 as well as numerous branches overhanging at head level ready to take out any unaware biker or hiker.... come on Cleveland City Services you need to do better......

Great Connector

Perfect to find your way from the Towpath to the Cleveland Zoo and Old Brooklyn neighborhood. Massive elevation at the top of the trailhead. Kids will likely walk bikes up.
