I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
Ohioans know how beautiful our state is, but there’s still some places we go that surprise even the most knowledgable Buckeye. California Woods Nature Preserve is one of those rare hidden gems. Did you know there’s a California, Ohio? (We bet you didn’t!) California is one of the 52 neighborhoods that make up the city of Cincinnati; it’s a small river community located at the confluence of the Little Miami and Ohio Rivers, between Lunken Airport and the now-shuttered Coney Island. Its eponymous nature preserve is nestled in the center of the community, and it’s utterly breathtaking. The California Woods Trail in Ohio will show you a completely new side of the state—one you never knew existed.
The California Woods Trail in Ohio is one of those places that truly takes you by surprise, and leaves you completely awestruck at the state’s natural beauty. But that’s pretty much Ohio for you! If you need further proof, these 15 beautiful hikes in Ohio will convince you.
