Book Review Walks and Rambles in Southwestern Ohio

With spring here and summer on the way many people’s thoughts are turning to outdoor fun. Unfortunately our bank accounts may say that there aren’t many things we can afford to do, while our bodies crave the good health benefits to be found in the great outdoors. Fortunately the local public Library has a book that will help solve those problems.

The book “Walks and Rambles in Southwestern Ohio” by Ralph Ramey is a great example. This book provides the reader information on thirty-six nature preserves, woods and state parks where people can walk and experience both nature and local history at minimal cost. Many of these areas are within Montgomery County. Chapters about each area includes maps, pictures, the distance of the trail, the facilities available and if the trail is suitable for the physically challenged.

Check out a copy from your local library, or buy your own to carry with you as you enjoy the great outdoors with your family.
