Review & FAQ:
Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park is located in Ohio’s Nelson Township, Portage County. The area has been a popular recreation spot for a long time, and it became a park in 1949. The most important features of the park are the interesting sandstone rock formations, some of them 50 to 60 feet high with 60 feet deep fissures at times. Nelson-Kennedy Ledges is a popular destination for picnicking and hiking. There are more than three miles of main hiking trails, and many others that are unmarked and more strenuous. The park is mostly covered in the beech-maple forest, with some yellow birch, Canadian Hemlock, and Canada yew. The forest, with its dense leafy canopy, is full of songbirds and small mammals such as raccoons, skunks, and fox squirrels.
