Ohio Nature:

Ohio is located in the Midwest of the United States and belongs to the northeastern central states of the United States. The territory of Ohio is 116,096 km 2 (34th place among the states of the United States).

Ohio is bordered by Canada to the north, Pennsylvania to the east, West Virginia to the southeast, Kentucky to the south, Indiana to the west, and Michigan to the northwest. The southern border of the state runs along the Ohio River, and most of the northern border runs along Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes of the United States.

In northern Ohio, along Lake Erie, there is a coastal lowland. In the northwest of the state (as well as in the northeast of neighboring Indiana) lies a region known as the Great Black Swamp. For only a century and a half, this area was a vast swampy area, interspersed with islets of dry land. With the increase in the number of settlers in Ohio, the "Great Black Swamp" has been almost completely drained and is now excellent agricultural land.


To the south is the Allegheny Plateau (Alleeni), part of the Appalachian mountain range. Distinguish between the western, glacier-smoothed part of the plateau and the eastern, which was not affected by glaciation. In the west of the Allegheny Plateau there are lower and gently sloping hills, to the east their height increases, gradually passing into the mountains of West Virginia. The hills in the southeast are covered with forests, and there are several Ohio state parks, the most popular of which is the Hawking Hills.

The Allegheny Plateau in Ohio is cut by the channels of numerous rivers, the largest of which is the deepest tributary of the great North American Mississippi River, which gave the state its name - the Ohio River.

Other major rivers in the state are tributaries of the Ohio Muskingum, Scioto, and Great Miami, as well as the Cuyahoga and Mouni flowing into Lake Erie.




In the valley of the Cuyahoga River, the only national park in the state of Ohio is located, the waterfalls, caves and picturesque landscapes of which attract numerous tourists.

In addition to Lake Erie, Ohio has several other large lakes, including the Grand Lake St. Mary's Lake, created in the early 19th century, which for decades was the largest artificial reservoir in the world. Now this lake is included in the state park of the same name.
