This morning I stopped by the Station Road Bridge parking lot. I saw an
unmanned drone with multiple propellers flying over the Route 82 bridge. It
eventually flew down towards the parking lot. There appeared to be a person
controlling it in the Station Road Bridge parking lot. 

I wasn't sure if drone were allowed in the National Parks. So, I spoke with
a National Park Ranger later on in the day. He informed me that it is
illegal to fly these aircraft in the National Parks.

I looked online and couldn't find an official nation-wide announcement about
it on the NPS.gov website. But, there was a web page that said a drone was
used to harass some big horn sheep in one park.

I think there are a lot of birders in the Cuyahoga Valley. If you do see
someone operating a drone, please call the Rangers immediately.
