Great Seal State Park
The mountains depicted on the state seal of Ohio, with many hiking and mountain biking trails, and the Sugarloaf Mountain hike offering views of the river valley's red foliage in autumn.
About 5 km northeast of the city, this park includes rolling hills such as Mount Logan and Sugarloaf Mountain, which are the originals of the mountains on the Ohio state seal. The park has about 30 km of trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. Climbing Sugarloaf Mountain or Mount Logan offers views over the Scioto River valley and the city of Chillicothe. Entry is free and facilities are basic. Some sections of the trails are steep and muddy after rain.
