Humans stand on two feet for a reason: To walk, to run, and to hike. In Ohio, getaways like Mohican State Park will unfold before you while the fresh, earthy aroma of Rhododendron Cove’s undergrowth fills the air — the trees in Old Man’s Cave and Cedar Falls can show you the way. Here are fourteen locations with scenic views steeped in Ohio pride that deserve to be discovered. From expert to novice hikers, we selected trails for every skill level. Lace on your hiking boots and get ready for these memorable hikes in the Buckeye State!

Old Man’s Cave and Cedar Falls

The Upper Falls at Old Man’s Cave

Hocking Hills State Park is one of the most popular parks in the state for a reason. You can follow many paths, so choosing each trail can be challenging. However, we recommend a charming loop from Old Man’s Cave to Cedar Falls and back. This 6-mile loop will bring you through to the Upper Falls, then the gorge valley, passing the Lower Falls and Queer Creek. Following the trail, you can look for blue blaze marks around Grandma Gatewood Trail, where you will encounter recess caves, seasonal waterfalls, and slump blocks before reaching Cedar Falls. At this point, you can choose between going up to the parking lot to find facilities to stop for a picnic on the tables or descending via the Gorge Overlook Trail, leading to Rose Lake and back to Old Man’s Cave. For a more extended adventure, explore the new trails to Whispering Cave by following the Hemlock Bridge Trail, adding 1.2 miles to your hike.

Day 2 of my ride across Ohio will be from Millersburg to my home in northeast Columbus. 

I like to get an early start on these long rides because one never knows what can crop up along the way. I grab a quick breakfast at the hotel and head out.

The Holmes County Trail takes me 5 miles to Killbuck, where I have to ride country roads to Glenmont to pick up the Mohican Valley Trail. 

You share the Holmes County Trail with Amish buggies. Watch out for horse by-product.

I can’t say much about Killbuck except there’s not a whole lot there and the place looks like it has seen better days.

I have no trouble on the roads. I see maybe five cars between Killbuck and Glenmont. I have a radar taillight plus a helmet mounted mirror so I have no problem “checking six”. 

The cars give me a wide berth. I have fortunately never had someone actively take a swipe at me although a couple have come too close for comfort over the years. If I see a line of cars getting backed up behind me I try to pull off and let them pass. No sense pissing people off. Enough folks hate cyclists as it is.

Out on the road. Fortunately not many cars this time of morning.

The Mohican Valley Trail features a 3 mile climb at maybe 2% grade followed by the same on the descent. The nice thing about rail trails is the climbs tend to be long and shallow because that’s what a train needed.

On the Mohican Valley Trail. I can imagine the workers had to blast through the rock…

Thursday, Aug. 3, Dr. Nick Junkerman, an Associate Professor of Literature at Skidmore College, will present “James Fenimore Cooper: History & Fiction in ‘The Last of the Mohicans.’” The program will begin at 7 p.m. at the Fort William Henry Conference Center, 48 Canada Street, Lake George. The event is co-sponsored by the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance and the French & Indian War Society at Lake George.

James Fenimore Cooper’s “Last of the Mohicans” presents an exciting and romantic fictionalized account of the siege and surrender of Fort William Henry. For many Americans, knowledge of the French and Indian War is limited to Cooper’s work. “Every day, guests come to the Fort William Henry Museum who either read Cooper’s book or saw the movie,” says Kathy Flacke Muncil, CEO of Fort William Henry Corp. “Our guides separate fact from fiction so visitors leave with a better understanding of this era in history.”

According to Russell P. Bellico, a trustee of the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance, “The French and Indian War was a complex, lengthy power struggle for control of North America. Because Cooper’s depiction of the siege published nearly 70 years later was so popular, it became the most recognized event of the French and Indian War.” Bellico is the author of “Empires in the Mountains”and several other books on the region’s vast history.

Dr. Junkerman will talk about the legendary events that took place in and around Fort William Henry in August 1757 and point out differences in the fictional account depicted in Cooper’s novel. Admission to the program is free; however, space is limited, so organizers encourage those wishing to attend to register by email to info@lakegeorgebattlefield.org.

Also of note: At noon on Aug. 9, the French and Indian War Society…

Houston-headquartered Forum Energy Technologies (FET) has delivered an electric observation-class remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to Canadian Memorial University of Newfoundland which can be used for renewable energy projects, among other things.

Source: FET

Delivered to the Fisheries and Marine Institute, the primary function of the Sub-Atlantic Mohican ROV system will be to support ocean research, while it will also be used for pilot technician training. For ocean research operations, the ROV will be required to carry a payload skid for navigation, equipment and sensors, as well as be capable of manipulation and intervention.

Mohican is equipped for inspection tasks, non-destructive testing, (NDT), light intervention, pipeline/cable/seabed survey, diver assist/safety, harbor and port security, scientific survey and data collection, renewable energy projects, civil engineering, long tunnel excursion and for inland waterways.

It was manufactured at FET’s UK facility at Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, and delivered to Memorial University of Newfoundland this year.

According to the company, the Mohican ROV has a 2,000-meter depth rating and with TMS Garage system, is suited to inspection, survey repair, oceanographic research and subsea maintenance tasks. Ancillary tools and sensors can also be added to the vehicle for survey and light intervention work.

“The acquisition of the FET Mohican ROV system vastly increases our capability to complete scientific observation and sampling research work up to depths of 2000 m,” said Joe Singleton, Interim Head for the School of Ocean Technology at the Marine Institute of Memorial University.

“The ability to add additional sensors, cameras, and equipment to the payload makes it versatile for all anticipated expeditions. For our students completing the ROV Technician program, this comprehensive system provides a great experiential learning platform for maintenance, repair, integration, and operations.”

Speaking about other company-related news, it is worth noting that earlier this year FET announced it
