If you're looking for a great park that has panoramic views of the valley below, you must go to Rising Park. There is a nice playground for kids, a pond but my personal favorite is the view! You won't believe you're in Ohio.

This entire region is full of hikes, caves, waterfalls, rock formations, boulders, natural bridges and so much more, located in SE Ohio. Beautiful in all seasons even in the winter when the waterfalls freeze. Fall foliage is a peak time to be here. HH is made up of about 2,400 acres and most of it is untouched forest.

Often referred to as haunted, the Ridges that sit high above the Ohio University campus in Athens, Ohio is a spooky area with a lot of history. It use to be Athens Lunatic Asylum. Many of the buildings are being used by OU for research, labs, classrooms and admin but there is much to explore on the 700 acre grounds including an observatory, Kennedy Museum of Art and hiking trails. They offer historical walking tours too but they do sell out quickly.

You really can't visit Hocking Hills without hiking to Cedar Falls. The terrain varies and can be a little strenuous at times including lots of stairs to climb. It's only a half mile long and you will probably see snapping turtles along the stream. the Upper Rim trail is a lot longer and feels more of a "hike". We suggest taking the one way trailhead near the restrooms. You'll see a small waterfall but continue on to get to the actual Cedar Falls. The woods here are loaded with Hemlock (not Cedar like one would think). Just beautiful!

This is kind of off the beaten path but a great two mile hike that takes you back to these great structures and rock formations in the Hocking State Forest. Parking is off of Big Pine Road just past Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve. The parking lot is called "Hocking Hills Rock Climbing and Rapelling Area Parking Lot". The trail is marked by blue blazes. You will cross the road, go across the bridge and head off to your left where you see an information placard. This trail will take you down into the Edison Hollow Valley. Go all the way through the rock cuts and then you'll see the balanced rock. Come back the same way.

If you don't have time to make it to the winery itself, you can find their delicious wine sold at Sugar Crossing (the Sunoco gas station in Sugar Grove just off rt. 33). They actually have a nice selection of local wines.

Just a few miles from our cabin, this park is a peaceful place and most of the time, not crowded. This park really has beauty in all seasons. The trails have various levels of difficulty from easy to rugged. There is a huge, leaning boulder (called Leaning Lena) that you'll drive by upon entering the park. There really is nowhere to park near this boulder but it's so unique and has an enchanting feel. The fishing points along Clear Creek are easy to access. And this entire park (5300 acres) is a bird and fauna dynasty! It's also home to Ohio's last remaining colonies of rhododendrons.

Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve is a MUST SEE! There are two trails here, one inside the gorge that is about 75% wheelchair/stroller friendly until closer to the end. The rim trail has a lot of stairs and takes you above the gorge in a loop. This preserve is amazing with the sandstone walls, rockface and a few smaller caves. Hiking here in the winter is especially nice when the leaves are down and you can see more of the incredible rockface. It's spellbinding here and so peaceful. Taking the gorge trail, you'll be a little chilly since it is more secluded and shaded from the sun so bring a jacket.

Now this is our personal favorite place for ice cream (their homemade donuts are pretty darn good too). They have a drive thru so if you're out and about and don't feel like going in, just pull up to the window. But going inside is an experience...I mean, they have a disco ball. Heck yeah!
