Ohio at a Glance
Ohio is so diverse that it has something for every traveler. The northern side
of Ohio borders onto Lake
Erie, and with the great Ohio
River and many other rivers flowing through the state, water recreation
is abundant. The three Cs—Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Columbus—are
highly industrialized urban centers, while the family farms and small towns
of Middle America offer a contrast to Ohio's big-city life. All over the state
visitors discover amusement parks renowned for their bigger-than-life roller
coasters, like Sandusky's
Cedar
Point in the Greater
Cleveland area and Paramount's
Kings Island near Cincinnati. Ohio's innumerable aviation contributions
are documented and celebrated in Dayton,
home of the United
States Air Force Museum, one of the oldest and largest aviation museums
in the world. Amish Country
in north Ohio is home to the Amish and Mennonites who have shunned modern conveniences
to maintain simpler times. In Appalachian
Ohio, exotic animals roam free at the
Wilds, a 10,000-acre endangered species reserve.
