Delicious food and coffee! Maddi's favorite place to work from "home" in AmeriCorps.
Hocking Hills is a bit of a drive from Athens, but the beautiful topography and breathtaking Appalachian hikes are worth it. Southeast Ohio's hidden gem!
The best townie bar. Stop in for a "Hot Nut" (a shot of hazelnut liquor and coffee; it's an Athens staple)!
Strouds is a beautiful local park with lots of hiking, gorgeous lake, and scenic views.
Jackie O's is an Athens legacy. If you like craft beers and good food, you have to stop by. There's a pub next door; or, if you just want the booze and away from the college crowd, there's a location on Campbell Street, too.
Take a trip to "The Ridges," which was once the Athens Lunatic Asylum. Now a collection of old buildings, beautiful trails and unmarked graves, it is worth the trip!
