Ohio: The Perfect Place To Get Away

A perfect escape from hue and cry:

Whether it’s for a day trip or for a week’s vacation, visiting Ohio can be a perfect way to escape from the din and bustle of everyday life. Being situated in the Midwestern area, it is the 7th most populous and 10th most densely populated state of the USA. The name of the state has come from the word ‘ohi-yo’, an Iroquois word meaning ‘great river’. However, there are controversies over the origin of the state’s name.

This state is historically recognised in the name of ‘Buckeye State’, which is a reference to the abundance of buckeye trees in this region. The people of the state are known as ‘Buckeyes’. The capital city of the province is Columbus. This state, with its variation at the level of wildlife, landscape, and scenic beauty, offers a perfect escape to those seeking a vacation spot for energising and revitalising them.

The five amazing regions:

The five regions into which Ohio is divided are loaded with tonnes of activities and events that attract lots of tourists every year. People who love to spend their vacation near water and enjoy water-related recreational activities can choose the south-west portion of the state. The Ohio River is located in this region. By visiting this region, people have access to the river and all the water sports activities that can be imagined.

The southeastern part is also bordered by the Ohio River, but this region belongs to rural life. If tourists are interested in spending their vacation in the context of the peaceful silence of rural life, they can pick this part of the state. Far from the hue and cry of the city’s busy life, the close contact with the rural way of life bestows on the visitors the tranquilly of mind that they cannot ever imagine.

People who are interested in cultural events and want to be involved with the happenings of colourful events and festivals can consider visiting the central part of the state. This part is the home of the capital city of the province. The north-east region is worth visiting, for it gives access to Lake Erie. The north-west region is the part where most of the tourists like to visit. Here are situated the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the famous Lake Erie, which together draw huge numbers of visitors. Some amusement parks further increase the attraction of this region.

Get away with the beauties of Ohio:

Without being generalised, the specific tourist attractions of Ohio are also numerous in number. The Newark Earthworks Great Circle Museum offers the visitors the chance to explore 2000-year-old geometrically shaped earthworks. A tour to the Hocking Hills can be extremely delightful, as the tourists can watch the beauty of a crystal-clear waterfall, hike a cave, trek along woodland trails, and shop for antiques and souvenirs. The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is a world-famous zoo that can be the place to take a family trip.

The Hopewell National Historical Park takes the visitors to the days of ancient culture. If one is interested in seeing an 18000-year-old groove, the Glacial Groove is here to serve that interest. To enjoy the colour of the festival, one can join the Preble County Pork Festival, which is carrying out a tradition of 41 years. This state is an amazing place where rivers and streams, dense forests, and an unbelievable collection of flora and fauna – everything – contribute to that amazement. Several state parks and vast areas of national forest offer world-class hiking and adventure, as well as silent and quiet spots to simply get lost for some time.
