State and National Parks
Ashland is within an hour of Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Mohican State Park, and a myriad of other stunning outdoor gems. Hike, canoe, fish, and bike on a day trip that will get you away from it all! If you’re a fan of the outdoors, don’t miss our own city and county parks and the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District while you are visiting.
Cleveland
Cleveland is renowned for its museums, zoos, and ballparks, and it’s an easy drive from Ashland. Don’t miss the Cleveland Symphony, West Side Market, and, of course, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!

Like Cleveland, our capital city of Columbus is a cultural and shopping powerhouse–again, within an hour of Ashland! Check out the North Market, German Village, and Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens.
It’s easy to make a week of your visit to Ashland with so many nearby attractions. That, however, is if you can tear yourself away from Ashland itself! Our summer is bursting with activity.
