North and South Trails, No. 2.
Name: Cuyahoga-Muskingum Trail.
Termini: Lake Erie and Ohio river.
Route: Ascended Cuyahoga valley from mouth of Cuyahoga river, crossed the portage to the Tuscarawas and descended the Tuscarawas and Muskingum valleys.
Remarks: One of the important river trails in the West. The lower Muskingum valley was little used by the Indians and the path between the Licking (Zanesville, Ohio) and the Ohio river (Marietta, Ohio) was probably little used. Through the country of the Delawares, along the Tuscarawas, it was a very important thoroughfare. For map, see Hutchins's.
