Description from Old Postcard
From Sent From The PastThis is one of the many pretty spots in the Gorge along the Cuyahoga River. The Gorge is part of the Metropolitan Park System of Akron. The High Level Bridge connects Akron with Cuyahoga Falls, and is on the road to Cleveland. It is one of the highest bridges in the United States, being 190 feet above the river bed. State Highway No. 8 passes over it. A very beautiful view of the Gorge can be had from this bridge.
