Winter can be a daunting season in Greater Cleveland. It almost feels as if the world has fallen into a slumber, and everything almost seems to shut down. The reality of it all is that cabin fever has simply set in, but it’s an easy sickness to shake. There’s plenty to do indoors and outside, both in Greater Cleveland and throughout Northeast Ohio. Today we’re going to hit the road for an adventure the whole family can enjoy, so pack some snacks and let’s get going!

Lock 3 in Akron is a wintertime destination like no other.
