The best place on earth is in N.E Ohio
The scenic Nelson Ledges Quarry Park is a great place to camp, swim, hike, sunbathe, attend music festivals, or just plain hang out. The park is a beautiful landscape made up of 250 acres of forest, meadows, streams, rock ledges, fishing lakes & of course the quarry itself. There are also more than 400 campsites, some deep in the woods, some along the Quarry, & others in secluded meadows. Nelson Ledges is therefore an ideal venue for weekend-long music festivals as well.
The park is a unique & special place that is cherished by many. Over the last 50 years, thousands have claimed that their greatest memories were made at the Quarry. Due to their interactions with friends & the landscape as a whole, the park leads to experiences that can be compared with no other. It's a place where friends come together, friends are made, people fall in love, & the best times are had.
The forest itself consist of a variety of trees, wildflowers, mushrooms and other plant life.
There is also a variety of individual campsites that cater to personal preference. Whether it's on a ledge by the water or deep in the woods, you can camp near the social activity or settle in one of the quiet, isolated areas. We pride ourselves on being a primitive campground to avoid the trailer/RV look of our competitors. Campers and Winnebago's are more than welcome to visit for a few days, but long stays are not encouraged, and there are no water or electrical hookups for campers or RV's. Small, quiet generators are allowed, but the park otherwise accommodates primitive camping only..
Place is awesome! Boys from 11 to 17 loved it, 17 year old even posted pictures on Instagram saying super cool 😎 Place. Lots to explore spent about 2.5 hours exploring. Not your typical hiking trail
Absolutely breathtaking raw natural beauty with incredible powerful but calming energy. This place is unique and inspiring. I’ll definitely return!
A must see. Really amazing ledges and valleys that take your breath away. Pictures don’t do justice. Such a cool experience!
Small but unique park that is interesting and fun to walk around. Unfortunately it had rained before our visit so the wet leaves made it slippery to walk around. We enjoyed exploring the lower part of the park before the rains returned and will definitely return on a drier day.
I was totally blown away by how amazing this park was. I went here just to check things out while on the way to Columbus Ohio and ended up staying for hours exploring all the trails, waterfalls and even secret spots. This park is small but there's so much to do here, especially on the red trail that it begs coming back to again and again. This place is amazing for anyone who enjoys hiking, caving, waterfalls and more.
