Asbury Woods is such a gem! This review is only for the hike, but I will definitely come back to…read morecheck out the nature center and everything else Asbury Woods has to offer. TL;DR - Free parking, Greenway Trail is the longest, is not very strenuous (just a few hills) is very shaded (unless you continue into the meadows, which is beautiful, you should go!), there are boardwalks on the trail which is pretty nice so your shoes don't get as muddy, you can customize trail distance if you don't want to do the whole Greenway (you can take a map at the entrance), Walnut Creek is beautiful and peaceful, and it's dog and family friendly. I saw lots of families on the trail with young kids. So for the details, my bf and I were looking for a place to hike and we tend to go for 2+ mi with some shade along the trail and some body of water, big or small. I browsed the web for info on Asbury Woods trails and saw that they were all short but the pictures seemed really nice and it was within 10 minutes of where I live so I figured I'd give it a shot. While driving here, I noticed there are 2 lots to park, one by the park, and the other is across the street by the main entrance by the nature center. So that's where I parked. We took one of their trail maps by the entrance and decided to go on the Greenway Trail, which we were pleasantly surprised to find is 2.2 mi and crosses Walnut Creek. Along the trail, we realize it is pretty shaded. Checks off all that I look for in a hike! This trail is beautiful!! Once you get to Walnut Creek, you'll realize it is such a gem! There weren't too many people on the trail for a Saturday around noon. The trail takes you across a bridge and into a meadow. Once we got to the meadow, I realize there are multiple places to enter the Woods, but I guess Google Maps took me to the main entrance. (The other way is the barn entrance.) Have fun!!

I'm not sure how much has changed over the years but it was easily one of the best weeks of my life. I learned archery, kayaking, canoeing & embossing. At the time, you could pay $5.00 and choose to make any craft that they had to offer; I still have a wooden dog I painted (if you press it's nose it plays music) and it was the first time I ever participated in a scavenger hunt. The camp grounds were always kept very clean, the staff was amazing and it was nice to see that the property is exactly as I left it. I attended a wedding here today & would recommend Camp Whitewood to anyone looking for an affordable & alternative wedding venue. Although our friends explained to us that you cannot have alcohol unless you rent all six buildings but this didn't ruin our evening. The building they choose had two bathrooms, a decent sized kitchen, a large stage & plenty of room for eating & dancing. Younger children might be bored as there isn't a playground; however, you can enjoy a fire pit or a stroll through the woods. All the buildings, with the exception of the cabins, are handicap accessible . There's also plenty of parking in a secluded area surrounded by nature. So weather you're considering hosting your next event here or having your children stay for a week or two; Camp Whitewood is the place to be!

So in order to ride Ravine Flyer ll you must have one of the point cards as this coaster requires 4.5 credits for each rider to join in on the fun! The coaster starts off just like anyone other one with a short ride over the transfer track to the lift hill that provides a stunning view of Lake Erie just as your about to drop to head straight into the bridge that crosses the 4 lane state highway 832 right after you cross you do a good turn around and head back over the highway again for some more coaster action that's complete with a tunnel or two to keep things even more interesting! This really is up there with some of the best wooden coasters I've ridden across the country as you get a good amount of airtime throughout the entire ride it's super smooth for a wooden coaster and the fact you cross over a 4 lane highway is just awesome! Overall this is a great addition to Waldameer Park and a amazingly fun coaster for all ages to enjoy it will definitely be a pleasure when I get to come back here again to enjoy this super fun wooden coaster of epic Erie proportions!

I met his wife at the general store and she after hugging and other pleasantries got in my car and we proceeded to her RV. Just got there and David raced up in his golf cart and proceeded to tell me he could have the police arrest me and her for giving the "secret" code to get in. Just the day before she was told she was going the wrong way on a street with no signs. I was told on the phone when my CC was billed I would receive an email with a map and what cabin I was in. Never happened! Finally at 5:00 at night I was allowed back in. 5 MPH is posted all over. My car in 1st gear idling is faster than that. Had foot on brake for all movement in camp. Many others go the opposite way on the roads in the campgrounds, particularly the golf carts and boy, never knew a golf cart could go so fast. Big sign no driving on grass, was told not for you. Sign in cabin says no parking on grass by cabins. They either do not want disabled vets there or they cater to people that pay by the year. Oh yes, pets are welcome, sign says you must take your dog so it doesn't bark. There was a barking dog that could be heard in the cabin, the trailer it came from said Mayor of the Lake.

Located in the sleepy lake town of Conneaut Ohio, this place lies directly alongside Lake Erie and is at the northwest corner of Erie and Sandusky streets. I am amazed that a place like this is just a little over an hour east to Cleveland while it feels like a whole different world. During my visits, I have seen some breathtaking sunsets, bird watching, and just a perfect place for a picnic. Some other great events that are held here include the 4th of July festival complete with a parade, vendors, & live entertainment, D-day Conneaut that is held every year in mid-August, and softball games complete with concession stands. This is also a popular location amongst high schoolers that take their pictures with Erie lake in the background. In addition to that, there's an arts center as well as nearby Lakefront Motel in case you wish to stay the night. One drawback of this park is that it is not dog friendly which can be a make it or break it since Conneaut itself is a community where many people are proud dog owners. There is a public restroom at this park; however not the cleanest as that might deter people from using the facilities here. However, the pros outweigh the cons as they offer ample parking throughout while the boat launch area is fee is a respectable $8 charge. There are also some great family-owned restaurants nearby including "Breakwall BBQ", "Sparky's Place", and "Castaways Pizza", all within a few blocks walking distance. All in all, "Lakeview Park" is a decent place for the whole entire family. Whether it is enjoying a picnic on a warm summer day or going to the Oasis Marina at Port Conneaut, the views all in itself are quite amazing and picturesque. My rating, an above average four stars.
