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!.
