Western Ohio
Western Ohio is known for its beautiful scenery and the best of what nature has to offer. Travel south of Bellevue to tour Seneca Caverns, a registered national landmark. Discovered in 1872, these caves are one of the most unique natural wonders in the country. Be sure to dress warmly, however, since the caves stay 54 degrees year round. Outside Wilmington, visitors will find Cowan Lake State Park. Known for its beautiful water lilies, 6 miles of gorgeous nature trails, and 700-acre Cowan Lake, it’s a great place for families or those wanting to get away. Enjoy swimming, the sandy beach, boating, or fishing for muskie, crappie, bass, and bluegill. Located in Adams County is the Davis Memorial State Nature Preserve. The area of unbelievable natural beauty is home to a geologic fault, dolomite cliffs, and beautiful botanical life. Botanists or those just interested in interesting flora will enjoy two hiking trails to view rare and unusual plants. Crane Creek State Park, located outside Toledo, lies on the shore of Lake Erie and is home to a freshwater marsh and a beautiful sandy beach. Bird watchers and nature enthusiasts will be thrilled by the more then 300 species of birds that call the area home. Herons, waterfowls, gulls, and the bald eagle all call this area home. Be sure to enjoy the sandy beach to sunbathe, swim, and fish for bass, pan fish, walleye, muskie, and perch. For a leisurely day, take a tour of historic downtown Wilmington. See homes in the Federal, Greek Revival, Gothic Revival, High Victorian, Italianate, Queen Anne, and Stick styles. This quaint town is also home to great shops selling collectibles, jewelry, fine furniture, antiques, novelties, books, and clothing. Ohio is the perfect vacation destination for visitors who want to relax, enjoy the great outdoors, and experience some of the best of what this country has to offer. |
