My family has many fond meMovies of Hocking Hills as we used to vacation there annually, stay in the cabins at the park and swim, hike, just have fun. We would usually go with multiple families and we always had a water ballon fight at the end of the week. Good times. I still miss the smell of the cabins and the pines surrounding.
Those pics bring back the more prices for sure.
Most of the stare parks in Ohio are good for a day trip. If you get a chance, get some fishing up on Lake Erie for perch. Some good eating. Maybe do some walleye fishing up there too. A trip to cedar point or Kong’s island is warranted if you are a thrill seeker, cedar point in my mind is worth the trip north.
If you have any questions about specific places don’t hesitate to ask, been a while since I have been back there but being raised there I might have some idea what you are asking about
