Mentor, OH Outdoor Activities

All year long, Ohio ATV World hands over the keys to a stable of well-maintained Suzuki, Yamaha, and Polaris all-terrain vehicles that purr beneath riders as they wind down through 12 miles of trails in Hocking Hills Nature Trails. In rain, sleet, snow, or sun, attentive staff members provide helmets before indoctrinating off-road skills into beginners and experts, who can zip through trail barrels and ramps atop their four-wheelers. Off the beaten path, Ohio ATV World arranges group outings and birthday-party activities, such as scavenger hunts set amid the park’s scenic foliage and natural wildlife.

Some of the instructors at Lookaway Farm have worked with morgan horses for several decades. The equines, with their chocolate-hued necks arched proudly and their hooves beating quick drumrolls, respond to this extensive experience during lessons, trail rides, and competitions. All instruction is conducted in a one-on-one format and customized in accordance to the rider’s goals of achieving proper technique or making a novel about rollerblading cowpokes more realistic. With regular practice in the saddle, students of all ages can tap into the sport’s myriad benefits, including development of muscles, confidence, and coordination.
