Ohio Travel Guide

Many people consider Ohio as one of the most beautiful places in the world. The northern side of Ohio borders onto Lake Erie, and with the great Ohio River and many other rivers flowing through the state, water recreation is abundant. The state of Ohio is mostly covered in fertile farmland, and the northeast is home to the world’s largest Amish population, a decidedly old-fashioned community which sells their freshly grown produce along with traditional handmade crafts in the small town country shops. To the south lies Ohio’s outback, a less populated region that is heavily forested and can best be experienced in Wayne National Forest. The most visited destinations in the state are the sandy shores of the Lake Erie Islands with a wide range of recreational activities including boating, fishing, swimming, as well as numerous historical sites and nature areas. Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus are the three highly industrialized urban centers, while the family farms and small towns of Middle America offer a contrast to Ohio's big city life. Don’t miss the amusement parks renowned for their bigger than life roller coasters, like Cedar Point in Sandusky North Ohio and Paramount's Kings Island near Cincinnati. The Hocking Hills region is an idyllic place to enjoy nature's beauty. Hike or drive through this rugged terrain, sculpted out of rock by a prehistoric glacier, and wonder at the lush vegetation, transformed rich red and amber in autumn. Here you can explore caves, hike in craggy woods and stand beside sparkling waterfalls or just enjoy the scenery on horseback or from a canoe paddling down the Hocking River.

Ohio's innumerable aviation contributions are documented and celebrated in Dayton, home to the United States Air Force Museum, one of the oldest and largest aviation museums in the world.
