Scenic Byway Road Rally: Art & History

The Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition is excited to welcome travel and car enthusiasts for a scenic tour of the historic Ohio & Erie Canalway America's Byway!

The Ohio & Erie Canalway America’s Byway travels alongside the historic path of the Ohio & Erie Canal, the nation's first inland waterway link between the Great Lakes and the Gulf region. It is not a single road, but a carefully mapped 110-mile route through four counties and 58 communities in the Ohio & Erie Canalway National Heritage Area.

Participants will receive a curated itinerary of stops along the route featuring art and history, continental breakfast and refreshments, lunch, a commemorative gift, and awesome prizes and raffle opportunities all as a part of their registration package, all while learning more about the history of America’s Byway from the comfort of their own vehicle! Got a classic car? Show it off in our classic car contest - but don't let that deter you. Everyday cars welcome!

The 2025 Scenic Byway Road Rally is supported by the Akron/Summit County Convention & Visitors Bureau, BellStores, Big Red Printing, Hammontree & Associates, Ltd., Kempthorn Motors, ms consultants, Novatny Electric, Rally Sport Classics LLC, SeibertKeck Insurance Partners, Skipco Auto Auction and Summit Racing Equipment.
