Any time's a good time to discover Central Ohio's more natural side. But when your brain is full and your body stiff from too many hours in the study chair, there's no better remedy than a little fresh air and some outdoor adventure. Luckily for you, you're surrounded by 130 miles of trails, 32,000 acres of parks and green space that lends itself to all types of activity ... hiking, biking, boating, fishing, jogging ... you name it. Here's just a sampling to get you off your duff and on your feet, bike, ropes or whatever it is that will replenish your soul.
