Recreation / Nature

Abundant natural resources are a hallmark of southeastern Ohio. The Ohio and Muskingum Rivers provide endless opportunities for golfing, boating, fishing and water sports. Wildlife is teeming in thousands of acres of national park land. Outdoor enthusiasts and sportmen can pursue their favorite activities year round, as whitetail deer, turkey and fish are plentiful.

Any season of the year, serious hikers, bikers and casual walkers alike can be found along the miles of trails wind through Washington County, as well as the newly constructed 1.8 mile Rivertrail that meanders along the Muskingum River through historic Marietta's parks and attractions.
