I made it back to Nelson Ledges State Park and brought a friend, Brian, to do a collaboration video between our You Tube Channels. Please check out his Channel at @TheVineyardFarmhouse and his video from this same park here • Nelson Ledges State Pa... We actually went to two parks (Thompson Ledges also) this day and spent around five hours hiking all around them. Both parks offer a wide variety of landscapes and are great for hiking.
The spectacular rock formations at Nelson-Kennedy Ledges have become trademarks of the park. These rock formations are among the few outcrops in northern Ohio still exposed to view. Most of the outcrops elsewhere have been covered with soil and rock left by receding glaciers.
The remarkable sandstone cliff formations resulted from the forces of erosion--wind, water freezing and thawing--that wore away at the softer rock layers. As these soft layers eroded, large blocks of rock called slump blocks fell away leaving more resistant layers to form ledges above.
