Visiting Ohio ...
As others have said - you can't go wrong with visits to Ohio State Parks!
Almost all OHIO State Parks for Fee Free - basic entrance, parking, and
most activities are FREE to one and all.
Dogs are usually welcome in 90% of Ohio State Parks - BUT must ALWAYS be on a leash!
Dogs are usually NOT allowed within spittin distance of a swimming beach;
and sometimes not welcome in picnic areas.
Leash requirements are usually enforced - often with an expensive TICKET given
with no warning! Park Rangers are "plentiful" and are armed Police Officers -
who sometimes enjoy "enforcing" where a warning would do. But MOST of em
are NICE Guys & Gals!
Are you bringing "Camping Gear" (tent, sleepie bags, etc)??
AFTER the Big MD Weekend - there should be campsites available in most of
Ohio's Parks.
Final suggestion:
When you first enter Ohio - if it's via a major InterState Route - there should be
a "manned" Visitors' Welcome Center - they usually have tons of literature, maps,
flyers, and some discount cupon books & magazines. Worth the time to stop!
And most of the NEWER Ohio Turnpike Service Plazas have information counters -
Wherever you stop - be sure to pick up a copy of the Ohio Turnpike map -
you'll need it sooner or later ... and ALL of the OTP Entrance booths are
robots spitting tickets -
the attendant that might answer the call button NEVER has a map!
Enjoy your visit - there's a LOT to See & Do in Ohio!!
