About Kendall Lake (Cuyahoga Valley National Park)

A wedding at Kendall Lake in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, near Peninsula, is about as close to the woods as an Ohio wedding gets. The lake sits where two streams meet, with a historic fishing pier and a sandstone-and-wood shelter that seems to grow out of the hillside. Water, trees and that old shelter give your photographer and videographer natural scenes in every direction.

Kendall Lake is one of the park's approved sites for a wedding ceremony, and you'll need a special use permit from the National Park Service. Apply at least 30 days ahead and up to a year in advance, and note that permits aren't issued for Memorial Day, Labor Day or Independence Day weekends. You don't need a separate photography permit for pictures that are part of an authorized wedding, and drones aren't allowed. Wind and other park visitors can affect sound outdoors, so talk with your videographer about microphones for the vows.

This is a ceremony and pictures spot, so plan your reception somewhere else. After the vows, walk the shoreline and the pier for wedding photos of the two of you and your wedding party. The scene changes with the seasons, and in winter the shelter becomes the park's winter sports center for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, so a cold-weather wedding day here looks nothing like a summer one.

Apply for the special use permit early and confirm your site.
Visit at the time of day your ceremony will start to see the light on the lake.
Ask the park about guidelines for chairs and decorations.

A little about Kendall Lake

The Civilian Conservation Corps created Kendall Lake in the 1930s, building a dam, planting thousands of trees and adding the shelter as a bathhouse for swimmers. For years people came here for the swimming beach, the toboggan run and ice skating.
