A journey through Ohio’s stunning parks and waterways!

Explore the wild beauty of the Buckeye State in Ohio: Wild at Heart, an uplifting journey through Ohio’s stunning parks and waterways, narrated by Ohio legend Archie Griffin. The story of Ohio’s natural landscapes is one of resilience and the deep connection of people and nature. It is also a story of epic comebacks, from the return of bald eagles and trumpeter swans to the revival of once-polluted rivers. In this rousing cross-country adventure, you’ll step off the beaten path into Ohio’s great outdoors—from the sandstone cliffs of Hocking Hills and the shores of Lake Erie to the winding Buckeye Trail and the ancient glacial grooves of Kelley’s Island—and meet the everyday Ohioans who are working to restore the state’s natural wonders. A rallying cry for wild places everywhere, Ohio: Wild at Heart celebrates the magic waiting just beyond our doorstep—and the joy of reconnecting with the natural world.
