What we’re about
Welcome to the Unlimited Adventures Meetup group! We are situated mainly in Northeast Ohio and the surrounding counties. This is a group for anyone who likes playing in the outdoors, socializing, and generally having a fun time throughout the year with different activities as the seasons change. Some of the fun things we like to do are:
- Kayaking the multiple surrounding lakes, reservoirs, and rivers that are inclusive of all kayakers and boat lengths.
- Hiking in our beloved Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) and Summit/Cuyahoga Metro Parks year-round.
- Biking on the beautifully well-maintained bike trails in the surrounding areas.
- Camping in many of the 75 State Parks in Ohio where often we combine multiple activities into one trip during a weekend stay.
- Winter activities such as skiing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and tobogganing during the off-season as weather permits.
- Visiting wineries, craft breweries, and local hometown eatery establishments often conclude activities but are never a requirement to joins us and have a good time.
If staying active and socializing is something you like to do, then join us on one of our Unlimited Adventure!
