Outdoor recreation is a big part of daily routine here, thanks to the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail running straight through town for walking and biking, along with seasonal rides on the historic St. Helena III canal boat. Downtown Canal Street features local coffee shops and diners, while families are served by the Northwest Local School District. It offers a peaceful pace of life with an easy drive to larger employers, healthcare, and retail in nearby Canton, Massillon, and Akron.
