There are some truly sublime places here in the Buckeye State -- heavenly, otherworldly, divine places almost too beautiful to be real. While natural wonders such as the Ohio Caverns, Old Man's Cave, Cuyahoga Falls, and Kelleys Island often steal the spotlights as the most beautiful places in Ohio, we'd like to nominate one of the state's regular, old metro parks for such praise. Just outside Columbus, Three Creeks Metro Park is a glorious place that's an honest-to-goodness, real-life paradise in Ohio.
