Description
The
caption
reads
"
Kennedy
Ledges
Portage
County
" The
Nelson-Kennedy
Ledges
State
Park
is
located
in
Nelson
Township
,
Portage
County
,
Ohio
. The
167
acre
park
was
established
by the
Ohio
Department
of
Parks
and
Recreation
in
1949
. The
nearest
town
is
Garrettsville
,
Ohio
.
Popular
for
picnicking
and
hiking
, the
park
contains
sandstone
cliffs
50
to
60
feet
high
and
depressions
60
feet
deep
. The
cliff
formations
are the
result
of
erosion
-
wind
,
water
,
freezing
and
thawing
that
wore
away
the
soft
stone
. The
approximately
three
miles
of
hiking
trails
are
color
coded
with
white
being
moderately
easy
.
yellow
and
blue
are
moderately
difficult
and
red
is
extremely
difficult
. There are
more
trails
are
unmarked
and
very
dangerous
. The
forest
is
mainly
beech
and
maple
with a
few
more
uncommon
cooler
climate
trees
such
as
Canadian
hemlock
,
Canada
yew
and
yellow
birch
.
Some
trees
cling
to the
side
of the
rocks
with the
roots
searching
for
every
crevice
.
Under
the
canopy
of the
trees
is
maidenhair
fern
and
Christmas
fern
. Also
found
is
the
less
common
marginal
shield
fern
,
grape
fern
and
common
polypody
. The
trees
are
home
to a
variety
of
song
birds
and
other
parts
of the
park
are
home
to
skunks
,
raccoons
and
fox
squirrels
.
Because
of the
cliffs
and the
hazardous
trail
, the
park
is
open
only
from
dawn
to
dusk
.
