Your Dog's Favorite Hikes In Ohio

Submitted by Sammantha and Gunnar
Our favorite hikes in Ohio are Mohican Park, the Park of Roses, Hoover Reservoir, Goodale Park and my personal favorite - Kokosing Gap. Gunnar is a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Sometimes he gets a little tired out, but for the most part he is happy to go on a squirrel prowl.

The Wagtrail is a 1.6 mile loop through fields and woods. It is part of the Battele Darby Metro Park in Central Ohio. It is 1/2 mile south of Georgesville. It is the only nature trail in this park that is open to dogs. Great place for to be out doors with your dog.

Cleveland is a great area to hike with your dog. We may not have any national parks here, but are blessed to have a park system that practically surrounds the city. Two exceptional parks on the east side are the North Chagrin Reservation, and my favorite the Chagrin River Reservation.

One of our favorite places to hike in is the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, stretching between Cleveland and Akron. Shaina, a samoyed/chow mix, and I love the Ledges trail, the Kendall lake trail, and her favorite - the Quarry trail! We also paw our way down trails in the Cleveland Metroparks (such as Rocky River and Hinckley), and nearby state parks, such as Edgewater - not only a trail, yet also a beach that allows dogs!

For CENTRAL OHIO, you have many choices. We love the paved and wooded trails of central Ohio Metro Parks. Three creeks has miles of paved trails and a couple shorter wooed and lake trails. PraireOaks also has an extensive trail system with many PAVED and gravel trails and a SWIMMING spot for dogs! We just visited Slate Run for a mile and a half or so trail that was a mixed wooded treasure, as well as a nice paved walk by the lake. I was dissappointed with the CLEAR CREEK trail as it seems to be an old road going straight, not very scenic. Close by was the HOCKING HILLS with many other choices ROCK HOUSE was a treat. Conkles Hollow is a State Preserve and you can't take your dog there but
  ASH CAVE (some is handicapped access too) , CEADAR FALLS , OLD MANS CAVE and CANTWELL CLIFFS  (click on names for a hyperlink MAP of park)
Don't overlook the Buckeye trail and many connecter trails for the Hocking hills.
