    Cedar Falls
    Ashley O.

    This my kids favorite due to the big waterfall. It's a relatively nice easy hike. Kids can play and frolic near the water.

    My favorite! Tiny waterfall, and we came at dusk so there was no one here. Trails were well marked, and kept in great condition. Very short walk from parking lot.

    Teresa K.

    Really nice easy hike. About a half mile in and out with one way foot traffic. Only big climb was right after the falls. Nice amount of parking with restrooms.

    Short hike that rewards you with a small, yet photogenic waterfall and unique rock formations. This is my second favorite trail, after Old Man's, due to the varying elevation and walk. I still broke a sweat despite the trail being shorter. Bring a good pair of hiking or running shoes, and take some nice pictures!

    This is a very cool park! My children tend to gravitate toward parks and playgrounds where there…read moreare open-ended and tactile features available, and this park has that. There are boulders to climb, outdoor musical instruments to play, a treehouse to play pretend in (and is wheelchair accessible!), a merry-go-round, swings, a traditional playground structure with slides, and lots more. The playground area is lined with wood chips. There is also lots of space to run around, and lots of trees. Like the name of the park suggests, this is a very sensory-friendly park, and there are nature stations set up all around where you can use your senses to explore. There is also a short, paved trail that goes around the park, which is wide and smooth enough for strollers and wheelchairs. The trail goes by a creek, which is nice. As of right now, this is the only sensory-friendly park in the state of Ohio! It's definitely worth a visit.

    This is a really neat and wonderfully inclusive park. This features a short, paved path that is…read morewheelchair and walker accessible. Along the path are a variety of interactive stations that are also designed to be accessible. If you start near the entry sign, you'll find a Little Free Library, which, on our recent visit, was loaded with a lot of great kids options. Just ahead is a variety of benches and a little music garden, featuring musical instruments that can be played, and you can also interact with the Rough Bark Tactile Display to learn more about different tree barks. A little further down are the cutest animal looking instruments that can also be used. As you continue down the path, you find a swingset with a variety of swings that include both traditional and accessible options. There's a nice little shaded bench area with information about the creek, Fetter's Run, that can be seen from the location. As you proceed along, a very exciting find is the Treehouse, which is built within the forest trees as opposed to up in one, which allows a wheelchair ramp to make it accessible. This overlooks the creek and has things to explore, like neat nature art and a second floor (not accessible) with a fire pole. At the end of the path is a shelter house with picnic tables and nearby grills. Most, if not all, of the signage included Braille translations, as well. There is a large parking lot here, but I do note that this is located behind a school, so I'm not sure how that would affect parking for a visit during a school day.

    An Ohio treasure, Hocking Hills has been one of my favorite parks for my entire life…read more Accessible to all ages, with a plethora of trails both long and short. Plenty of bridges and paved areas. You can really make your Hocking Hills experience as intense as you'd like. With features such as Old Man's Cave and a creek with several water falls, you do not want to miss this park. My personal favorite season to visit is autumn, watching the trees shed their colorful leaves. Gorgeous views, great photo ops, and fun for the whole family. Not to mention free parking.

    Hocking Hills is one of the best state parks in the Midwest. Whether you are looking for…read morechallenging trails to hike, a campground, or just a scenic spot for a picnic lunch, this state park is the perfect place. The trails are well maintained and range from easy to challenging. The trails are dog friendly, but please pick up after your puppy. My friend and I stayed at a nearby campground for a week and hiked every day with our two dogs. We arrived early in the morning and hiked different trails. Some of the trails are loops and some are out-and-back. A few of them involve steep climbs, rock stairs, or scrambling up rocks, so consult the free park map for details. The visitor center is very nice, and naturalists are available to answer questions and provide recommendations. Restrooms are clean and well maintained. The campground at Hocking Hills tends to fill up quickly, with reservations being made up to six months in advance. If the campgrounds are full, there are several private campgrounds in the area that are very nice. We actually camped at Campbell's Cove and drove the short distance to Hocking Hills State Park every morning.

    The playground at Kachelmacher Park is like the park that time forgot. It's straight up the 1980s…read morein this park, with all of the vintage metal playground equipment that you and I grew up with that totally would not fly today. Basically, all of those rides and slides that would burn your legs in the summer are here and still providing kids with hours of fun at Kachelmacher. There's the metal twisty slide, the long metal straight slide, the metal character riders, the metal monkey bars, the metal straight bars to do your flips, the metal geodesic dome -- all the metal. We visited on a mild spring day, so the metal equipment wasn't a problem, but I imagine that in the summer, the equipment will get hot. Just be aware of that. There are also more modern things, like swings, a play firetruck, a teeter totter, a wooden fort and a plastic play area for younger children. There are also lots of picnic tables at which to sit, as well as a shaded and covered area with picnic tables for a party, and a fireplace hearth. (It wasn't lit when we were there, so I'm not sure if it is working or if you're allowed to light it.) There were no restrooms that I could see, so plan accordingly.

I seriously felt like a snapshot from the playgrounds of my childhood had been found. There are also basketball courts right next to the park area. You can make a nice outdoor play day of this place. It is well maintained. A nice gem in Logan.
