Your photographs of Ohio will reveal a state that has retained much of its natural beauty. It also offers some of the best family attractions, parks and entertainment venues in the Midwest that you’re invited to experience, and then record in pictures. You can start to photograph your Ohio fun with a visit to Cedar Point Amusement Park on Lake Erie. Cedar Park is known as the roller coaster capital of the world. You’ll discover an amazing and complete vacation destination, with lakeside hotels, campgrounds, marinas, a waterpark, family-oriented shows and many opportunities to take pictures of your family and friends having the time of their lives.
Keep your camera ready as you continue to explore Ohio’s Lake Erie shore beyond Cedar Point. Take many photos during a bike tour of the picturesque coast and its lake views, charming small towns and lighthouses. Then, it’s a short boat ride to the nearby Lake Erie Islands, where you’ll find famous Ohio wineries, exciting festivals, vacation cabins and many water sports. If your family enjoys fishing, then you’ll want pictures of your expedition to the northwest Lake Erie shore and the many rivers in the region. Schedule your fishing trip for the spring when the walleye run has made this are the walleye capital of the world. Lake Erie ice fishing is also very popular during the winter.
Photographing your visit to the city of Cleveland could obviously center on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, but there is much more to see. The city has transformed itself into a modern, clean city that features many day activities, such as a trolley tour with many photo possibilities. Not as well known are the many nearby natural settings—beaches, waterfalls and gorges—for hiking, picnics and explorations of northeast Ohio’s history.
Choose a completely different photographic adventure in the Ohio River country. There are numerous river cruises on historic steamboats that leave from northern Kentucky locations as well as Cincinnati. You can enjoy day trips to capture the still wild scenery of the islands and shorelines in pictures, or take romantic dining, fun festival or fall foliage cruises to be cherished in photo memories. If you embark on your river trip from Cincinnati, then you and your family should also visit the many attractions in the city and those just north. There is more family fun at King’s Island Resort in Mason, Ohio, with its modern amusement park, accommodations, golf and many other activities. Then, head for the Little Miami River area and record your leisure trip on its scenic bike trail in pictures.
Your Ohio photo trip wouldn’t be complete without visiting southeastern Ohio and the Hocking Hills region. You’ll want pictures of the spectacular caves and secluded forest settings to be found in the area’s many state parks and national forests. Your family will enjoy hiking, swimming and rustic camping adventures, and the many pictures of your stay in Beautiful Ohio.
