by

Hemlock Falls is a beautiful waterfall near Butler, Ohio.  Even though it’s difficult to locate, the hike to this nearly 100-foot waterfall is worth the trip! While Hemlock Falls is located NEAR Mohican State Park, it is owned by the Richland Park District and access is managed by Mohican Outdoor School. Eventually, the Falls will be on the new B & O Trail as the land was recently purchased by the Mohican Watershed Conservancy. How do you access Hemlock Falls? …

by

As much as I love going on a hike, very few things can beat a FALL Ohio hike.  No 98% humidity, fewer bugs, and the crunch of leaves underfoot.  #Perfection.  On our first trip to Summit Metro Parks, we were given the most glorious autumn day, and the history and scenery that we encountered did not disappoint.  There are so many great hiking spots in Northeast Ohio, and Summit Metro Parks and this was definitely one not to miss.

by

One of the things I love about following various Instagram accounts is getting new ideas for where to hike.  Hiking at Whipp’s Ledges within Hinckley Reservation was one of the places that caught my eye for our family.  I fell in love with this type of typography after last year’s trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Whipp’s Ledges is part of the Cleveland Metroparks system in Northeast Ohio.  While we only hiked the Ledges Trail, there appear to be 7 foottrails within …

A member’s review + tips for if you go Back in December, my mom was asking me what kind of Christmas present she could get for my kids. ?Knowing we were relocating to Mansfield, Ohio right after Christmas, I thought that money towards a family membership to the Little?Buckeye Children’s Museum would be just the ticket (pun intended) to keeping the kids occupied on dreary Ohio days! We’ve been three times so far, and it’s safe to say that this …
