Tips for birding Brookside Road Marsh
To visit the Brookside Road Marsh, park at the small gravel pull-off where Brookside Road meets Riverview Road and walk towards the marsh. Another access point is to the south along Canal Road just south of Pleasant Valley Road. There is a traffic signal for Fitzwater Road near the Wilson Feed Mill. Take Fitzwater Road west. You will cross a bridge over the canal, cross the Towpath Trail and then go over a bridge spanning the Cuyahoga River.

From the parking area walk west along the road to the railroad tracks. There is a dirt and gravel maintenance road for safe birding leading north along the tracks that lead to the marsh. Be sure to search for birds on both sides of the maintenance road along the way as there are woodlands on one side and marshy fields on the other. From Ken Andrews

About Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Though a short distance from the urban areas of Cleveland and Akron, Cuyahoga Valley National Park seems worlds away. The park is a refuge for native plants and wildlife and provides routes of discovery for visitors. The winding Cuyahoga River gives way to deep forests, rolling hills, and open farmlands. Walk or ride the Towpath Trail to follow the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal. From Cuyahoga Valley National Park website
