Ohioish

Welcome to your COVID road trip. 

We’re (re)discovering Ohio because of the lockdown. And what a fantastic place it is.

With 75 State Parks, plus nature preserves, scenic rivers, lakes, and more ways to recreate than you can imagine, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources has something for everyone. CoolCleveland spoke with naturalist Richelle Gatto about what to expect when you visit, and how to stay safe.

Find native plant kits to enhance your landscape, check out Ohio books and films and magazines from the library to plan your trip, and peruse thousands of historic photos of Ohio historical sites. Take a self-guided walking tour of six Ohio neighborhoods and learn how scientists are protecting Lake Erie.

And for a more representative Ohio, you can help fight gerrymandering, get a spaghetti dinner delivered to support a candidate, and attend a Zoom forum on the Ohio Fairness Act protecting LGBTQ+ rights.

It’s your Ohio, too, after all. — Thomas Mulready
