This article highlights some of the best places for snowshoeing in Ohio, providing insights into the trails, facilities, and natural wonders that await outdoor enthusiasts.

What are the best places for snowshoeing in Ohio?

1. Cuyahoga Valley National Park:
Located between Cleveland and Akron, Cuyahoga Valley National Park offers over 125 miles of trails suitable for snowshoeing. From easy strolls to more challenging treks, visitors can explore frozen waterfalls, dense forests, and the iconic Cuyahoga River. The park also provides snowshoe rentals and guided tours for those new to the activity.

Editorial: Call for a land acknowledgment (Dec. 6th)

University land acknowledgment statements are intended to honor and respect the Indigenous tribes that have lived on the land on which institutions and universities are built, oftentimes as a byproduct of erasure and colonization. Alone, without any kind of action, they can be performative. But at the least, they are a start, a way for a university to promote an atmosphere of respect for Indigenous people.

The Philadelphia-based universities that currently have a statement in place are: the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Haverford College, Swarthmore College, Bryn Mawr College, University of the Arts, Villanova University, Ursinus College and Drexel University. Many more institutions outside of the Philadelphia region also have such statements.

St. Joe’s does not have an approved land acknowledgment statement.

We applaud the faculty, students and staff who began discussions about a land acknowledgment statement almost two years ago at the university’s 2022 Day of Dialogue and those who joined the
Indigenous Cultures and Communities Working Group that formed shortly after.

We also applaud the University Faculty Senate for endorsing the Working Group’s statement in May 2023, which recognizes that St. Joe’s is located on the ancestral homeland of the Lenape peoples, who lived there for more than 10,000 years prior to European imperial colonization. The endorsed statement promises that the university commits to “building meaningful relationships with Lenape and other Indigenous communities to inform advancing teaching materials, scholarship, arts, academic programs, sustainability practices, and community engagement that honor and uplift Indigenous knowledge and practices.”

But, nearly three years since discussions began, we’re still waiting for that statement to become official. We’re still waiting to hear it read before university-wide events and incorporated into class syllabi. We’re still waiting for that promise of meaningful connections with the Lenape and other Indigenous tribes.

We call on the University…

Newport Township dedicates statue honoring area coal miners

NEWPORT TWP. — The Newport Township community gathered last weekend to commemorate the determined spirit and tireless dedication of the region’s anthracite coal miners with a new statue in their honor.

The event, hosted by Newport United and Newport Township, was attended by elected officials, community leaders, and dozens of residents.

And the speakers shared a dual message with the crowd.

On one hand, they underscored the sacrifices of the miners and of the arduous conditions they faced, not only to provide for their families, but also to power the nation.

On the other hand, they spoke of the miners’ resiliency and hope for a better future — a point that was emphasized to be an inspiration for the community going forward.

It was a message that resonated deeply.

Sen. Lisa Baker, R-Lehman Township, asked attendees who were descendants of coal mining families to identify themselves — most in the audience raised a hand.

“A total of 250 years of responsible local governance is a remarkable milestone, worthy of recognition and celebration,” Baker said. “This record reflects a lengthy honor roll of families, workers, business owners, and leaders who established and sustained Newport Township. It is fitting to pay tribute to the generations of coal miners who were the economic backbone of the community and region. We can look forward to additional community achievements in the years to come.”

Opening remarks at the dedication were offered by Newport Township Manager Joe Hillan, followed by the singing of the national anthem by Karen and Kyra Phair, and a blessing of the statue by Rev. Louis Kaminski. John Zyla, Newport Township Councilman and Chairman of Newport United; and Newport Township Councilman Paul Czapracki then took the podium.

They were followed in turn by Mike Shay on behalf of U.S. Rep. Dan Meuser’s…

4 Ohio Trips You Need to Plan Now

One of the tree houses at Mohican

The best ways to snag your next stay at some of Ohio’s most in-demand getaways, including Hocking Hills and Kelley’s Island. By Laura Watilo Blake

Whether you’re chasing the cosmic thrill of spring’s solar eclipse, longing for sun-soaked beach days or eager to immerse yourself in the splendor of autumn’s leafy grandeur, Ohio will be the heart of it all in 2024. But here’s the catch — lodging options in the most exceptional destinations will vanish like shooting stars. Don’t wait to book accommodations at some of Ohio’s best getaway destinations; seize the opportunity to secure your spot well in advance, especially in these locations. 

The Cliffs at Hocking Hills

Rockbridge, Ohio

This stunning 100-acre property near Hocking Hills has been an Instagram sensation since its debut in 2020. The Cantwell Lodge can accommodate up to 18 people, and there are also three two-
bedroom bungalows that sleep four. 

Book by dates: May to September 2024 is fully booked already, but dates in the winter, spring and fall are still available.

Price: Cantwell Lodge ranges from $899 per night in the winter months to $1,999 for a summer weekend night. The bungalows go from $299 in the winter to $599 in the summer.

Kelleys Island

Kelleys Island, Ohio 

Kelleys Island has a lot of loyal regulars who book their favorite summer cottage for the same week every year during the island’s 10-week season. July is the busiest month with events such as Island Fest. 

Book by dates: Make reservations starting in January for summer weekends. Keep in mind that many of the island’s lodging options can’t be found on popular booking websites such as AirBnB or VRBO, so be sure to check out kelleysislandchamber.com and StayonKI.com.

Price: $69 to $699 per night depending on…
