Most People Don’t Know Ohio Has A Tunnel Of Trees And It’s Magical

Contrary to what you might think, Ohio is full of natural wonders just waiting to be explored. From hidden waterfalls to glacial grooves, there’s always something new to discover in Ohio.

Most people are surprised to find out that Ohio also has a tunnel of trees you can hike through—and it’s simply stunning. Sugarcreek MetroPark in Bellbrook, Ohio features the Osage Orange Tunnel, and it’s a magical place you need to experience for yourself. Check it out:

Known for its unique trees, this metropark in the Dayton area is home to some really, really old trees. (Be sure to check out the 550-year-old Three Sisters while you're here as well.)

The tunnel was formed by large arching branches of old Osage orange trees, which were purposefully planted in rows in the late 1800s to serve as a farm fence.

No matter the season, the tunnel is a fascinating sight to behold (even when the leaves are long gone.)

This fall would be a particularly beautiful time to check out the Osage Orange Tunnel, as the fall foliage will likely make it even more magical. <3
