Ohio State Parks and Fun Places to Visit on your Getaway    

Ohio State Park Naturalist-Pat Quackenbush

Hiking the Ohio State Parks and beyond at Ash Cave, Cedar Falls, Old Man's Cave and Moonville Tunnel are just a few of the greatest places to hit the trails.

Ohio State Parks have loads of fun places to visit including their revamped visitor center and the many programs put on by the naturalist.  And there's also canoeing, rock climbing, kayaking and horseback riding close by. Maple Syrup Festival

You won't believe how many parks, wildlife areas and historical places there are to enjoy in the Hocking Hills Region! And each has its own unique personality. There's camping, hunting, swimming and loads of free outdoor fun for the family.

Most of the state parks in the area have at least a seasonal naturalist providing outdoor educational programs. You can plan a trip around a special event or just come and enjoy the programs each park offers.
