Ohio & Erie Canalway is a designated scenic route in Ohio, about 110 km (68 mi) long.
The Ohio & Erie Canalway Scenic Byway is a 110-mile (177 km) scenic byway located within the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area in Northeast Ohio. The scenic byway begins in Cleveland and ends in New Philadelphia, with a spur connecting Massillon and Canton. Between Cleveland and Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the byway is split between three routes. The western route runs through four historic Cleveland neighborhoods: Ohio City, Tremont, Brooklyn Centre, and South Brooklyn. The central route runs through Cleveland's industrial area. The eastern route runs through Cleveland's historic Warehouse District and along Broadway Avenue. The rest of the route follows the Ohio and Erie Canal through cities ranging from large, industrial cities such as Cleveland, Akron, Barberton, and Massillon to small, quaint villages such as Peninsula, Clinton, Navarre, Bolivar, and Zoar.From Wikipedia — Ohio & Erie Canalway Scenic Byway, CC BY-SA 4.0.

Tips for scenic drive photography
- Drive the route in both directions — the views change completely.
- Plan stops for golden hour at the highest overlooks; use pull-outs, never stop on the roadway.
- Check seasonal closures for high-elevation roads before you go.
- A polarizer cuts windshield-like glare on wet roads and foliage.
