Hillsboro Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Rivulets of falling water over rock ledges are topped by emerald green leaves and a deep blue sky on a summer day at Fallsville Falls, a beautiful tiered waterfall near Hillsboro, Ohio.
The trail at Fort Hill Earthworks & Nature Preserve leads you right through this old cabin! There are over 10 miles of hiking trails, an enormous Indian mound/fort of undisclosed origin, many spring wildflowers, birds & wildlife, so many mushrooms... #TakeAHike
The falls at Fallsville are sort of isolated from the other groupings of waterfalls in Ohio. So, if you're going to journey there, make an afternoon of it by visiting near by Hillsboro. Stop and have a burger at Cowaburger. Swing by the world's largest horseshoe crab sculpture.
A bright red capped mushroom so perfect it's almost cartoonish (think Super Mario Bros) along the hiking trail at Fort Hill Earth Works and Nature Preserve.
A close-up of the flower of Impatiens capensis or Jewelweed. This native plant is also called touch-me-not because the seed pods burst open and expel their seed when touched. It is said the sap of this plant can help alleviate the itch associated with both poison ivy and mosquito bites.

We had such a great time at GWL! The staff was incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. The room was spacious and so fun for the kids in their kid camp bunk beds. There was no shortage of activities to partake in. We had such a blast!

Amazing. Not only do they serve breakfast, but also have a happy hour and dinner. The pool and hot tube were packed the three nights we stayed, but our final night we got to enjoy it. Area seemed clean and safe. Walked to dinner.

Beware before you book. We got there and were told she had double-booked, leaving us nowhere to stay. Unfortunately, VRBO isn't the easiest to reach. I still haven't received a refund for a place I didn't even stay at, and VRBO doesn't even have a customer service email.
