In 1797, Moses Warren surveyed the Portage Path, and the trail from this point winds southwest, then southerly, and up the hill through the park. North Portage Path and South Portage Path streets generally follow the trail, which continues south across Perkins Park and Wooster Avenue. From there, Manchester Road for the most part follows the trail to the original bank of the Tuscarawas River, a total distance of 8 miles.
