Hueston Woods State Park

 We spent a beautiful day at Hueston Woods State Park. Hueston Woods offers nearly 3000 acres of R and R. In addition to moderate terrain that sits along streams and Acton Lake is the lovely Hueston Woods Lodge and Conference Center. Visitors can learn about the park’s geological history at the nature center

Hueston Woods Lodge and Conference Center offers a comfy environment and is just 5 miles away from Miami  University.

The lodge has many amenities including an indoor and outdoor swimming pool.

There are several types of lodge rooms and many areas throughout the lodge have a fantastic view of Acton Lake. 

In accordance with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, there is a smoke-free environment for park guests.

The Smokehouse at Hueston Woods Lodge is open every day and offers a varied menu.

We often sit on one of these benches looking out on Acton Lake. The lake is restricted to boats with 10-hp motors or less. Boats with horsepower greater than 10 must be operated at no-wake speed. 132 docks are accessible. Boat rentals and fuel are available.

Cedar Falls is a moderate hike with some small hills and some very pleasant views.

Hueston Woods Covered Bridge is located on Camden College Corner Road between Buck Paxton Road and Hedge Row Road. 

The bridge is a single span modified Burr Arch design, timber-covered structure with concrete foundations and 108 feet span. There is a 6-foot walkway located on each side of the bridge to take in the scenic view of Four Mile Creek. 

There are times in the fall when the creek bed is dry. It's then that my husband and I enjoy spending our time fossil hunting. 

just as in some fossil, curious and beautiful shapes of vegetable or animal life…are permanently bound up with the stone, and rescued from that perishing which would otherwise have been theirs,- so in words are beautiful thoughts and images, the imagination and the feeling of past ages, of men long since in their graves’    Trench 1851: 4-5

“Nature surrounds us, from parks and backyards to streets and alleyways. Next time you go out for a walk, tread gently and remember that we are both inhabitants and stewards of nature in our neighborhoods.” – David Suzuki
