From the frozen shores of Lake Erie to the snow-draped hills of southern Ohio, there’s no better time to embrace the beauty of the season. Make unforgettable memories, stay active, and immerse yourself in Ohio’s winter wonderland with ODNR’s Winter Hike Series.

ODNR’s naturalists have planned dozens of guided hikes throughout the winter months at state parks and nature preserves across Ohio. Whether you want to get in a workout, marvel at Ohio’s majestic winter landscapes, or try something new, these hikes offer something for everyone.

As a bonus, participants in naturalist-led hikes will receive a limited-edition 2025 Winter Hike Series decal (while supplies last)—a perfect way to remember your experience.

Dates for all naturalist-led hikes can be found on ODNR’s Calendar of Events.
