Events & Attractions
Trails for hikers and horses crisscross the area. Ten state parks, including Shawnee State Forest in Scioto County, and Wayne National Forest in Lawrence County, offer camping, swimming, fishing, boating, tennis and championship golf. Covering more than 200,000 acres of land and 2,500 acres of water, the opportunities are endless. Festivals and fairs that delight the senses and imagination are plentiful year-round. Professional football and baseball teams, including the Cincinnati Bengals and Reds, are within easy driving distance. Portsmouth, and the other cities nearby, support artist series and professional symphonic and other musical performances. A wide range of plays and operas are performed at the area universities and theaters. Many of the region’s communities are restoring historic downtown districts and theaters and at the same time revitalizing downtown retail trade. |
