Hike of the Week

The Jackson Bog is 57 acre nature preserve located in Jackson Township, Ohio. It's a great park for families as is is an easy trail through the woods and along a boardwalk over the bog. It's great anytime of the year, but especially fun after a few days of heavy rain because the boardwalk floats on the water at various points along the trail.
