The Storybook Trail At This Ohio State Park Is As Enchanting For Adults As It Is For Kids

There are so many storybook places in Ohio to explore, from old-growth forests and whimsical waterfalls to woodland-themed playgrounds and real-life castles. Today’s feature destination is a humble Ohio state park that’s home to a storybook trail that’s as accessible and enchanting for adults as it is for kids.

Located in Ohio’s Bluegrass region — one of the state’s most scenic and interesting areas — Adams Lake State Park has much to offer nature enthusiasts.

The new trail features “Wonder Walkers” by Micha Archer and tells the story of siblings who create their own story about the Earth. It’s a wonderful way to get kids excited about the Great Outdoors; the kind of walk that inspires curiosity and imagination.

Adams Lake State Park is the kind of place where you can let your imagination run wild, marveling over the larger-than-life lilies, croaking frogs, and fearless ducks who patrol the premises in search of their next snack — don’t feed them, though!
