If you happen to be near Hocking County in Ohio, don’t miss to visit the Lake Logan State Park. Apart from the fact that is near Hocking Hills State Park, the park itself is a beautiful tourist spot that boast a breathtaking scenery. I have visited the the park for only a day, but I wished I could have stayed longer. If you want to just sit by the lake, relax for awhile, and enjoy nature, this is the place for you.
