Allyson Daniels I miss the parks. My favorite is the Metro Parks around Cleveland OH, and of course Mohican, and then well all of them. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Thanks for the pics everyone!

Ohio State Parks Park Spotlight - Tar Hollow State Park: Twisting park and forest roads pass through deep ravines and dense woodlands. Scattered shortleaf and pitch pines growing on the ridges were once a source of pine tar for early settlers, hence the name Tar Hollow. Dogwoods, redbuds and a variety of wildflowers color the hillsides in the springtime. Fall's pageant of color is spectacular. There's also great hiking!

We go to Brown County Ohio and have rotten pumpkin tossing, corn stalk throwing, a Thanksgiving craft and we look for the wild turkeys marching across the fields. Sometimes we even take gator rides :)

I can walk Findley State Park's campground roads. The friends group painted hearts every quarter mile so I always know how far I've gone. It is a nice smooth place to walk with slow traffic, gorgeous views and great campfire smells!

Mohican State Park surrounds the Clear Fork Gorge, a breathtaking Canadian ecosystem left in Ohio after the last ice age. The park is Ohio's prime spot for outdoor fun.

Jaime Morris Any idea what these critters are? I've seen them twice this year, all on one section of branch, on one tree, and thousands of them! This is at Findley State Park.

This was a few wks ago, behind site #23, just into the woods. They are gone now, I have gone back twice to check them out and show my daughter. They hung around for at least a week. We saw the same things at Mohican Stat Park in the spring. They didn't move around, they just kinda pulsated in a rhythm-like motion. They look like micro cotton balls ... Read Morewith legs. The strangest things I have ever seen! I'd like to find out more about them. I have more pics and some close ups if anyone would like to see..
