This is the second posting for the My World meme . It is hosted by Klaus, Tom, Ivar, Wren, Sandy, Mac and myself. I would like you to check out what we have to offer in the opportunity to show our world to you and we would like to see your world.On the main post I showed the upstream view of the Cuyahoga River and here is the downstream view. In this view you can see Arch Dam which was done in 2003. This was modified for water quality considerations. The designers did a really nice job with the modifications. 
You can see that the railroad tracks that I talked about in the opening runs along side the river on this lower then road level.
This is a boulder on the upstream side of the Main Street bridge.

This is the view further up the river near the Brady's Leap area. The water is being aerated instead of flowing stagnant behind the dam.
There are still several pieces of stonework left from the canal days.
Here is another large cut stone from that time along the side of the river bank.
The river was a really important part of Kent history and I'm glad I am able to share the Cuyahoga River today.

Thanks for sharing this. It is beautiful and interesting. I love to watch watch moving.
Interesting pictures and post. I also loved the Buckeye from before.
Hi FG. All very interesting again. Who or what was the river named after? Is it a native american name?
Great post and beautiful pictures!!
Ah! Cayuhoga must be an Indian name, yes? Lovely river and very nice photos. ;-)
I love moving water! It just makes for such a scenic walk and you captured it so nicely!
Blessings,
Lacy
Great followup on the main intro!
Good work, Tom!
Cheers, Klaus
Thank you for sharing the Cuyahoga River!It's very interesting what we get to read and see all over the world.
How interesting that there are leftover stone cuts around the area.
Very nice post!
hi oh how pretty I would love to hike the and the forests in Ohio are something i would love to see more of and the historical buildings--Thanks
I love the sense of history placed alongside movement that your post evokes. Time seems fluid here.
My daughter did her graduate work and got her PhD from Kent State (this year) so we made many trips to Ohio. Beautiful nature in that area. Thanks for sharing that..Michelle..
It's been a long time since I heard the name of that river. Most people don't know how it's pronounced.
Love those shots of the river and the narrative about it.
An interesting post. Well done. Have a nice week, Tom
Thank you for sharing this lovely river and some of it's history! I love that some of the original stone work and boulders remain.
You do live in a lovely part of the world. Flowing water is a favourite image of mine to capture.
Bril post Fishing Guy, really enjoyed reading.
Nice pictures of the river, and the railroad tracks! And informative! Thank you for sharing!
Beautiful shots. Thanks for sharing!

I enjoyed seeing and learning more about this river. Fascinating post and I always love to see railroad tracks for some reason.
Very cool. My husband would love being there near the railroad tracks, he loves trains. I'm fascinated by that dam.
Incredible the beauty to see here in our US of A. Thank you for the river tour, FG. The water quality modification was very well done. Lovely!
Very cool. I've actually been on those train tracks, taking the scenic tour of the Cuyahoga Valley with the Wren-laws.
I'm enjoying your world!
This is a very interesting post. Beautiful photos too!:)
It looks like a very nice place to take a walk:)
hello, wish you have a nice day!!
Thanks for sharing this piece of history and the great photos. I liked it a lot.
Come visit anytime,

Very nice views, the railroad next to the water is a great contrast
Your My World introduction? Excellent!
Love your river post, both here and on the My World header. Thanks for the historical information as well. I'm impressed that the water is airated to keep it sweet, nice to see it bubbling and churning.
Thank you for the wonderful tour. This 2nd week of meme really makes us appreciate the many places that we don't usually see or ever had a chance to visit like the one you showed me in this post. Hope you get to have time to check my world too. Another great job and more to come in the coming weeks.
That looks like a great scenic train ride.
Guyahoga makes me think of R.E.M.-song from their fabulous album Life´s Rich Pageant. Never knew what it was before.
A really splendid trip along that river! Great series of pictures.
I enjoyed your post. It's always nice to see care taken to preserve our waterways.
Warren / Chrome:
Cuyahoga is an Indian word that means crooked river because it flows in a U shape (S / W / N to Lake Erie). REM did base their song about the Cuyahoga River.
Ah... fascinating post!!
I love the train tracks.. I am sure you know that!!
The river is absolutely awesome... very neat to learn about it!
Yes its true the design did a good job it looks very creative and pretty. TC
Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures of the Cuyahoga River.
Love the old pieces of stone-and the railroad tracks!
Must be nice to travel by train and look out of the window at the river. Nice shots. Thanks for sharing this part of your world.
:-)
It looks like a beautiful and clean river. Seems there are always railroad tracks following the rivers...guess that makes sense. Do you fish here?
I liked the composition of the railroad tracks next to the river - very nice!
Good post - complimenting your intro on MyWorld!
I have to make sure to stop by in Kent, if I ever get to go to Ohio!
Cheers, Klaus
Great post, Fishing Guy! Loved the photos on the main page of That's My World Tuesday and also what you have posted here. It has an interesting history, and looks like an interesting place to visit with lots of great views of the water to enjoy. Thanks so much for helping me out with my logo (I was successful with your great directions!) Take care, and thanks again to all of you My Worlders for creating this meme!

BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND PHOTO have a nice week!
Was a nice virtual sightseeing for me ! I really like this "game" so many places to see in the world !
You're not lying, they REALLY DID do a nice job w/ the construction! Your world is nice and that looks like a nice place to sit, relax, and read a book right there on the steps waterside!
Wonderful pictures. I love especially the one with the railroad tracks beside the river.
I'll be in your area tomorrow. Would be interesting to look it up. Thanks for the new meme!
The railroad tracks by the river is surely a nice view....also a great view travelling there.
Enjoy and thanks for sharing your part of the world...also for your visit and comment.
Water and the railroad, two very important things in the earlier days as means of transportation. Still important today.
Very interesting to read and see those photos, thank you for the post!
Absolutely beautiful pics!!
Quite beautiful photography.
This is a beautiful series of this river in Kent! Thanks, fishing guy! :)
Very nice sequence of photos of the Cuyahoga! It must have been a busy river back in the middle of 1800's. The canals they build back then were amazing accomplishments. Thanks for your comment on My World.
This Meme is wonderful!!! Good job!!!!
I remember this from something way back! You've included the railroad tracks this time.
Lovely photos!
Congrats on the spotlight again this week - you are a busy guy my friend!
Thanks for sharing the history of this place. You sure have brought the past into the present and taken me along with you. That's a neat place.
This is an interesting place, looks great in your photo!
Awesome pictures. You're very lucky.
Visit my blog to see my post about our national celebration.
Sorry, didnt get here untill Wednesday. I enjoyed your canal pictures, looks like an interesting area.
I love your squirrils and friends posted today!
I love rivers since there always a lot of life, especially wildlife, close to the river and that railway track running by the river side is should be really pleasing.
Love those stones!
Another great series of photos! I have a good friend who lives in Cuyahoga County, but he's not the outdoors type so I never get any pictures from him. When you have time, I would love to hear about your Hickory (NC) connection!
