Stumpy Basin Boardwalk Closure Announced | Cleveland News

Get ready for some major changes on the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail—Stumpy Basin’s iconic boardwalk, beloved by over 1.5 million visitors yearly, is shutting down August 24 through November 20, with another closure planned for spring 2027. No detours, so plan ahead. The aging 1991 boardwalk is being replaced with a wider, safer version to give hikers more room to enjoy the scenic wetland views. Expect parking changes too—half the Boston Trailhead lot will be taken over, so head to Stanford instead. This is just one part of a bigger summer upgrade to make the entire Towpath Trail smoother, safer, and more enjoyable for everyone.
