Living a life of adventure

Outdoor adventure, friendly folks, rich history, and a laid-back Appalachian atmosphere lend to a pleasurable vacation getaway. No chain hotels for lodging, just the premier Burr Oak State Park Lodge and many historic inns, private cabins, and vacation rentals. They all offer loads of privacy, beautiful views, and great service. Many have outdoor fire pits, balconies, peaceful patios, or gardens to enjoy the outdoors. While in the county, a must-do bucket list might include a live show or movie at the Twin City Opera House, a trip to the Big Muskie Bucket, tasting the newest award-winning brew at Old Bridge Brewing Company, a visit to a museum or shopping at Main Street boutiques and specialty shops. Special events throughout the year also provide great things to see and do. Attending the Chesterhill Produce Auction, Morgan County Farmers Market, the Morgan County Fair, or visiting an annual festival are the best ways to experience Morgan County. After a meal at one of the many local restaurants, you may choose an outdoor activity at one of the many state or local parks. Morgan County is a natural haven thanks to its lush forests and gushing waterways. Be sure to stop by one of the historic Muskingum River Locks this summer to watch a boat locking through. New attractions as well as many activities from a bygone era are happening today in Morgan County.

Visit Morgan County,
Front Porch to the Great Outdoors

What is your favorite outdoor pursuit? Camping? Hunting? Fishing? Hiking? Biking? Birding? Boating?

Spending time in the Great Outdoors is what Morgan County, Ohio is all about. Located at the center of Ohio’s Appalachian Country, Morgan County is most certainly the Front Porch to the Great Outdoors.

The Muskingum River Parkway was America's earliest river to be canalized by a series of locks and dams. This makes for great boating, fishing, and birding. There are many ways to enjoy this beautiful water trail. From sternwheelers, and houseboats to kayaks and canoes there is a lot of enjoyment to be had on the old “ELK EYE”.

 Are you into camping, birding, hiking, hunting, or fishing? Then check out Jesse Owens State Park,  Appalachian Hills Wildlife Area, Burr Oak State Park, and Wolf Creek Wildlife Area. There are several private campgrounds, each with its unique offerings.
Leave the bustle and stress behind, and discover outdoor adventure, unique historic sites, and hidden gems lining quaint Main Streets.
The journey is as pleasant as the destination, with country roads that meander along the Muskingum River
​and rolling hills dotted with neatly planted farms.
