It's been more than a year since golfers teed off at the former Brandywine Country Club. But the next visitors might be wearing hiking boots instead of golf shoes.

Riders can now bring electric bicycles into Cuyahoga Valley National Park as part of a change in nationwide policy by the U.S. Park Service.
