Campbell Hill is the highest point in Ohio and is located in Logan County on the grounds of the Ohio Hi-Point Career Center. Its elevation gives the landscape a distinctive geographic feature. Other discoveries include a long trail, cave tours, historical collections, a farm experience and water activities. This lets you explore a range of interests without suggesting that every attraction offers the same kind of visit.
Trails and caves: compare ways to get active and explore
The Simon Kenton Bike Trail is 35 miles long and includes both paved and unpaved sections. It is intended for cycling, walking and running. This makes it possible to consider the route based on your preferred activity rather than limiting it to a single use. There are two access points in Logan County: on Carter Avenue in Bellefontaine and at the West Liberty Recycling Center. These named access points provide practical guidance when you include the trail in your plans.
The Ohio Caverns offer two tours described in different ways. The Historic Tour covers the area originally explored between 1897 and 1925. The Natural Wonder Tour travels for over a mile through areas discovered after 1925. The comparison can help you choose based on your interests: the historically explored area on one hand, and a tour through sections of the caves discovered later on the other. The distance covered on the Natural Wonder Tour is also clear. It also includes the Crystal King, the largest stalactite in Ohio.
Self-guided tours and history
Piatt Castle Mac-A-Cheek is one mile east of West Liberty, Ohio. The visits are self-guided tours through historical artifacts, photographs, exhibits and explanatory texts. You can explore the themes presented at your own pace. The visitor experience also includes opportunities to relax in the surrounding area or take part in hands-on activities.
At the Logan County Museum, more than a dozen rooms each focus on a theme, a place or an object from the history of Logan County or American history. This gives you several historical perspectives during your visit: sometimes the focus is on a single theme, sometimes on a place or an object. On the first floor, numerous exhibits explore Logan County’s important role in transportation.
The Holland Theatre offers a different emphasis. Its auditorium is designed as a convincing representation of a 17th-century Dutch townscape. While the museum presents history through rooms organized around specific themes, the auditorium’s design is the main attraction here. If you are interested in architecture, this contrast offers another way to experience cultural history.
Farm experiences and water activities
Marmon Valley Farm offers a farm experience to the public, including pony rides. This places a hands-on activity alongside the historical and architectural discoveries. At Indian Lake, meanwhile, water and landscape set the scene: the reservoir covers 5,163 acres and is located in Logan County, Ohio. Indian Lake State Park offers boating, kayaking and water sports. Check the current facilities and programs before your visit, as they may change.
