I like to go to Sulfur Springs in the North Chagrin Reservation. I chill with friends. We play in the river, bring food to eat, and throw the ball around. We like to drive to Port Clinton and take a walleye charter and fish for four hours. The captain fillets the fish in front of us and we get to keep it. I also like to fish in the Chagrin River and Lake Erie Falls. I enjoy camping at Punderson, Pymatooming or Hill View Acres in southern Ohio. Around here, I go for walks in downtown Chagrin Falls. |

There's not much I don't like to do outside. I walk my dog year-round. We ride bikes and hike in the Metroparks. My husband and I go out on the lakes and canoe. We have been out to Mosquito Lake a few times. It's a beautiful lake, and we go camping there. |

My favorite outdoor activities in the summertime are backpacking and hiking in any of our state parks. My daughter and I like to go together. There are many great and historic places in Ohio. For example, Great Seal in southern Ohio. It's actually the mountains that are shown on the Ohio state seal. It has a lot of steep climbing. There's another great hiking place called Shawnee State Forest in southern Ohio, near Portsmouth.

I like to go down to the park and fish. We live right by the Berea Metroparks, so we like to go walk and bike there. |

We spend a lot of time in the Metroparks. We go to Whipps Ledges, Nelson's Ledges and to the Rocky River Nature Center. We mostly go hiking, but we also ride bikes. I also enjoy reading outside by myself. |

I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family. We take walks along the walkway on Canal Road in the Cuyahoga Valley Recreation Area. We look for ducks because my daughter loves them. |
