Hike or bike a trail

Wonderful family outings can start by lacing up your shoes or hiking boots and heading to a nearby park, preserve or forest for a one-of-a-kind experience. Exploring a trail is also a great way to get outdoors and get active.

Fun on the trail

The color challenge: Find 10 things along the trail that are red. The first person to find 10 red things wins the challenge and gets to pick the next color.

Geocaching

Geocaching is a high-tech treasure hunting game played throughout the state of Ohio by outdoor adventure seekers equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online. Geocaching is a great family activity and a fun way to get out and hike to new and interesting places. For more information and to find geocaches all across Ohio check out geocaching.com.
