Hueston Woods State Park a Oxford

Hueston Woods State Park is a picturesque spot for a memorable getaway. Its limestone and shale bedrock is evidence of an old shallow sea that once encompassed Ohio. Abundant with fossilized remains of ancient marine creatures, the park's permanent inhabitants include a Golden Eagle, Rough-legged Hawk, Great Horned Owls, Turkey Vultures, and Barred Owls. In addition, its west shore features a 1,500-foot swimming beach—you are welcome to check it out during the summer months.
