There is a national or state park just a short drive away, regardless of where you live in Ohio. From the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains to the shores of the Lake Erie, Ohio parks are popular playgrounds for outdoor lovers young and old. Forests, waterfalls, ravines, rolling hills, lakes, castles, rivers, and beaches offer plenty of opportunity for recreation, from hiking and biking to golfing, kayaking, fishing and bird watching. There are campgrounds of all kinds for those who want to stay longer, as well as marinas and boat launches for heading out to the lakes. Naturally, there are plenty of fish for catching your own dinner.
