Steel Valley Outdoors: 12 Alley Outdoors: 120 Parks in 100 Miles Steel Valley Outdoors: 120 Parks in 100 Miles I Started Steel Valley Outdoors to promote an active lifestyle in Northeast Ohio. I felt that for far too long, people did not know about the recreational Opportunities in our area. Rfrom Hunting, fishing and Skiing, to Kayaking, Hiking and Rock Climbing, we have a little bit of evverything. But it's more important than that. Economic redevelopment is important to our area. We have a lot of building to do. In order to bring new industries and new jobs into Northeast Ohio, we need to shamelessly promote a positive environment. From artistic and cultural activities to the outdoors, I think we can compete with the big guys. I mean, come on: no one ever accused Seattle of having gret weather, but they've done a great job of getting new industry in and of promoting outdoor recreation. How varied are the Outdoor Recreation opportunities in Northeast Ohio? Well, Let's see, I've compiled a list of at least 120 places you can go for Outdoor recreation. These are all official, public areas. I Don't list commercial properties or unofficial sites: no gaslines or mining areas. I based my Search on my Location in Boardman, and I might have cheated a bit at the edges: Minister Creek is only within 100 if you start at I-80, but what the heck. •• I've kept State Parks and related State Forests as two lines. This might be cheating, but they usually offer different experiences. •• Each Link goes directly to the appropriate site, not to a directory, wherever possible. •• Preserves have few amenities, Wildlife Area even less, but often are public hunting area •• This list is not meant to be comprehensive. I've left out many Metro Parks, some small state parks that aren't much more than picnic areas, and areas I'm not really familiar with. If you have something you want added, let me know. •• Scroll down to your favorite area. Look right above it. Have you been here? How about the area right below it? •• Or, Try ODNR's Recreation Search Finally, If you like this list, or have another link you would like added, please visit me atSteel Valley Outdoors and join the community. I'd like to see you around!.

Since the early days of the Boy Scouts of America, young Scouts have been in the outdoors exploring it’s beauty and all that Mother Nature has to offer. We are very fortunate here in the heart of the Laurel Highlands to have many camps and properties right at our fingertips. Although each facility is different; each has it’s own attractions that make it unique from the others while still providing a quality program to the countless number of Scouts and Scouters who enter each weekend. Dr. E. Urner Goodman the founder of the Order of the Arrow once said “The order is a thing of the Outdoors.” With this statement in mind Wagion Lodge #6 undertook the project to produce this guide and make it available to all units across the council.

  • Appendices to the Year 2000 Ohio Water Resource Inventory Sept 11
    Appendices to the Year 2000 Ohio Water Resource Inventory Bob Taft Governor, State of Ohio Christopher Jones Director, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency P.O. Box 1049 Lazarus Government Center, 122 S. Front Street Columbus, Ohio 43216-1049 Sept 11, 2000 Appendix A. OHIOSPORTFISH CONSUMPTIONADVISORY OHIODEPARTMENTOFHEALTHYEAR2000 FISHINGSEASON What Health Benefits do I get From Eating Sport Fish? Fish are nutritious and good to eat. Many doctors suggest that eating one half-pound of fish each week helps to prevent heart disease. Almost any kind of fish may have real health benefits when it replaces a high-fat source of protein in the diet. Fish eaten often provide valuable vitamins and minerals, high-quality protein, and beneficial oils that are low in saturated fat. Why is a Fish Consumption Advisory Needed? While most Ohio sport fish are of high quality, low levels of chemicals like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, and lead have been found in some fish from certain waters. To ensure the continued good health of Ohioans, the Ohio Department of Health offers an advisory for how often these fish can be safely eaten. An advisory is advice, and should not be viewed as law or regulation. It is intended to help anglers and their families make educated choices about: Where you fish, what types of fish you eat, how to limit the amount and frequency of fish you consume, and how you prepare fish for cooking. By following these advisories, you can get the health benefits of fish and reduce unwanted contaminants. What Groups are Most Sensitive to Contaminatants? Contaminants in fish can be harmful to people of all ages, but the fetus and young children are especially sensitive to contaminants because their organs and systems are not yet fully developed.
