A. W. Marion State Park is a Fisherman’s Dream State Park with 145 acre Hargus Lake. The park is a beautiful place to fish, take a hike, and relax for the day. The Park even offers an area for dogs to swim off leash. They have no beach areas for swimming but boaters can swim off their boat in some […]
I love Painted Creek State Park. It is just so beautiful and it has two different Dams that I was able to see. I stayed the night because it was getting to dark to take photos. It really was lovely. The largest Dam has two places to park and walk to it. I just did the parking are closest to […]
Christmas Rock Nature Preserve is a wonderful little place to take a hike but finding the trailhead is a bit more interesting then most. The drive to the trail is on city streets but they are a bit rough and narrow in places. The parking area is down the hill and about the first 1/4 mile is actually walking up […]
Buckeye Lake State Park is just massive. The Park has several different areas that you have to drive to but they are between different towns and I kept turning the wrong way. Therefore, it was just frustrating for me as I keep missing the turn. But the Buckeye Lake State Park is a fisherman’s and boaters paradise. The lake has […]

The Hosak’s Cave Trail has taken several life over the years. Aubrey E Parsons lost her life at age 14 when she fell during a hike in 2003. The grave […]

The original cabin has been lost but they have created a replica near the spot of his birth across the river. The cabin is behind the Village Hall that has […]
Cleveland is surrounds by parks, outdoor areas, and my favorite, waterfalls. Less the 30 minute from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are two great places to visit when your in town. Before the museums open or as the museums close and the city is cleared out for the evening, I head for a morning walk or a last […]
