10/20/2008 On our way back from a visit in Northeastern Ohio we met up with some friends for a dayhike at Nelson's Ledges. These spectacular rock formations are nestled in a quiet community in Portage County. There are trails rated from easy to difficult with both caves and a waterfall. Definitely a must if you are passing through the area! *You will need to use caution with young children as it can be quite dangerous!* There are only about 3 miles worth of trails but you can spend hours in the park! Across the road from the ledges is a picnic area with playground equipment and outhouse style bathrooms.
Derek was always 20 paces ahead, so excited to see what was over the next cliff or around the other side of the cave. Running ahead, coming back to inform us then off he would go again! The root systems of the trees were amazing. One formed a basket which had the appearance of a spiral staircase.
As the day drew to a close it was time to continue our trip north to central Michigan. We were hardly out of the parking lot and Derek was fast asleep.
