Where to Go
Island yurts at Kelleys Island State Park promise a unique adventure on the Lake Erie shore.
Splash or kayak at the beach, and marvel at the island ecology featuring two nature preserves,
an historic limestone quarry reclaimed by nature, and the famous glacial grooves.
Relax in a cottage
Buck Creek State Park’s cottages are the perfect home base for fun in the park, trips to regional
attractions and the Little Miami bike trail. Visit historic Crabill House, Indian mounds, U. S. Air
Force and Afro-American museums and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Wescott house.
Camp with your gear
Looking for a campsite that has it all? Rocky Fork State Park is sure to please.
Full-hookup sites for the big rigs, lakefront sites for boaters, plus mini golf,
basketball and volleyball courts for the kids and a camp store offering a snack
bar, patio and WiFi.
With so much breathtaking scenery at Hocking Hills State Park, hikers need a chance to catch
their breath. The park’s 2-bedroom cottages offer a comfortable place to rest and recharge
between jaunts to Hocking’s incredible caves, cliffs
and waterfalls.
The classic campground at Delaware State Park is the
centerpiece of this family friendly park. Playgrounds,
basketball and volleyball courts are a quick bike ride
from your campsite. Take a drive to the beach and marina to
take swim, rent a boat, and play disc golf.
Shawnee State Park’s cozy cottages are tucked away
in Ohio’s “Little Smokies.” Sure it’s remote, but the
park aims to please with a pleasant beach, top notch
nature programs, gorgeous trails, a marina on the
Ohio River, a full service lodge and the 18 hole golf
course.
Mosquito Lake State Park serves up summer fun with wooded
or waterfront campsites, basketball and volleyball courts,
disc golf, fun concerts and boat rentals at the marina, plenty
of hiking and mountain biking trails and a dandy dog park for
camping companions.

What to Do
Take a Hike
•
•
Fling a Disc
•
•
•
•
•
•
Forked Run’s 18-basket disc golf course, one of the first to be developed in
Ohio State Parks, is still one of the best anywhere in Ohio.
Pike Lake’s disc golf course is another highly rated gem. Nearby courses at
Paint Creek and Rocky Fork are also big winners with players.
Courses at Wingfoot Lake and Portage Lakes are fun and refreshing
expanses of green for city dwellers who pine for fresh air and exercise.
Grab the discs, the clubs, and the whole family for a trip they will all love to
Punderson‘s disc course and 18-hole golf course next door.
Can’t get enough disc golf? Try the challenging 36 holes at
Hueston Woods, and top off the day with a friendly paintball battle.

The paved trail at Blackhand Gorge
Nature Preserve near Dillon winds for
4 miles (8 round trip) along the Licking
River’s scenic cliffs.
At Mohican, mountain bikers can
plunge through 25 miles of epic forest
trail or cruise along the 3-mile paved
trail to town.
Volunteers keep improving the trails at
John Bryan to ensure a memorable ride
for mountain bikers of all levels of skill
and stamina.
The Little Miami Trail, one of the
longest paved trail corridors in the
country, spans four counties along the
scenic Little Miami River.
Strouds Run offers 26 miles of
mountain bike trials that loop and wind
through woods and meadows.
Welcome
Where to Go
•
•
Climb the rugged trail up Great Seal’s Mt. Ives and behold the vistas
that inspired Ohio’s founding fathers and the official state seal.
Trek in the footsteps of the Worldwalker on East Fork’s 32-mile
perimeter backpacking trail, or pick a shorter trail for a day trip.
Lake Hope offers short, medium and long trails on scenic hills and
hollows. See if you can spy rock shelter caves, but stay on the trail!
Malabar Farm’s pretty pastoral setting is perfect for a relaxing country
stroll, an invigorating woodland walk or a lazy drive up Mt. Jeez.
Trails at Barkcamp, Hocking Hills’ Ash Cave, Lake Milton, Maumee
Bay and Quail Hollow are great for visitors in wheelchairs or strollers.
Paddle or Tack
•
•
•
•
•
The glassy water at Dillon is ideal for placid paddling. For a rowing
workout, rent a canoe or kayak to explore Salt Fork’s countless coves.
Findley’s 93 acre lake is friendly to casual canoeing fans. At 14,000
acres, sprawling Pymatuning Lake appeals to energetic rowers.
Tranquil Kiser Lake and its nearby wetlands create the perfect
environment for a relaxing canoe excursion accented by wildlife
sightings.
The Alum Creek Sailing Association offers lessons for newbies, and
Old Salts can rent sailboats at Alum Creek and Hueston Woods
marinas.
Private liveries near Beaver Creek, Blackhand Gorge (by Dillon),
Caesar Creek and Mohican have all the gear for trips down scenic
rivers.

Expert Tips
Looking for a lake escape?
East Harbor is a fun place to camp, and it’s also a handy
and affordable home base for Lake Erie adventures. It’s
close to the ferry to the Lake Erie islands, world famous
Cedar Point amusement park, Marblehead Lighthouse
and local wineries.
From Pat Quackenbush,
Park Naturalist
Think you’ve seen it all at Hocking Hills? Join us on a monthly
Hidden Hocking tour and discover some little-known wonders
on trails less traveled, like Broken Rock Falls and Rose Lake. See
the naturalist schedule for dates and details.
Into history?
Catch an event at Caesar Creek’s pioneer village. Climb
Marblehead Lighthouse and tour the Keeper’s House.
Visit Mohican’s restored grist mill. Wander around
Hueston Woods’ pioneer farm or Beaver Creek’s
pioneer village. Tour Salt Fork’s Kennedy Stone House.
From Charlotte McCurdy,
Park Manager
While you’re visiting Quail Hollow or Wingfoot, leave civilization
behind and take a detour to nearby Jackson Lake Bog Nature
Preserve. This wild landscape is actually a fen wetland, home to
bizarre insect-eating pitcher plants and round leaved sundew.
From Dave Sapienza,
Park Naturalist
Fancy things with wings?
Try hand feeding hummingbirds at Lake Hope’s nature
center. Visit the butterfly house at Maumee Bay and
the butterfly gazebo at Van Buren, and help band
monarchs. Feel the joy of being surrounded by songbirds
at Malabar Farm’s aviary.
Hand feeding hummingbirds
People say Lake Hope’s Moonville Tunnel is haunted. Check
it out on your own or with the weekly naturalist-led tour. The
old railroad tunnel is about 3 miles from the Lake Hope dam and 1/4 mile
down a trail. Soon it will be part of the local rail trail system.
Looking for adventure?
Wildlife watching is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and a great thrill for kids. Ohio State Parks
are great places to observe Ohio’s fauna in the woods and on the water.
Try rock climbing at Paint Creek’s Harmony Trail and Spillway Wall,
but first, contact the Corps of Engineers for information. Rent a horse
at Hueston Woods and explore the park’s bridle trails. Check out the
changes at Burr Oak, an adventure park in the making!
Planning a get-together with a group?
Consider our 2-bedroom cottages, or book Lake Hope’s Laurel Lodge or
Pike Lake’s Group Lodge for dorm style sleeping (16 & 22, respectively),
roomy living area and complete kitchen to
cook for a crowd. Historic Harding Cabin at
Deer Creek sleeps 8 in style.

What to Do
Southern flying squirrel
Bluegill sunfish
Bullfrog
Although seldom seen, this is
Ohio’s most common squirrel!
That bump in the night just
might be this nocturnal critter
landing on your tent.
The bluegill sunfish is found in
nearly every Ohio lake. It may
be common, but for any kid
catching their first one, every
bluegill is extraordinary!
The bullfrog blends in so well
you have to sneak up to catch
a glimpse before it leaps in
the water, but you can’t miss
its loud “jug-o-rum” croak!
