This all-new guide ranges the length and breadth of Ohio to describe hikes in dozens of state parks, nature preserves, wildlife areas, forests, and national recreation areas. The author has chosen many of his favorite hikes, including: the Ledges trail in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Slate Run Metro Park in central Ohio, the Nature Conservancy's Edge of Appalachia Preserve in Adams County, Sandusky State Scenic River trail in north central Ohio, the Vermillion River trail in the August-Anne Olsen State Nature Preserve, a streamside walk in Sycamore State Park in western Ohio, and more.

An overview chart provides information on the 50 hikes at a glance, making it easy to choose a hike. Each hike is accompanied by a topographical map, information on difficulty, mileage, and rise, as well as entertaining asides on the natural and human history you'll encounter along the way.
