2007 Knox County Visitors Guide
It is with great pleasure that we bring to you the 2007 edition
of the Knox County Visitors Guide magazine. This is our
12th annual edition of this informative and detailed visitor
magazine and marks the 17th year of the existence of the Knox
County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB). Since the magazine's
creation in 1996, the CVB
has distributed almost 750,000
copies.
This year, our feature is the
area we define as “KnoxWays.” You can read about KnoxWays
starting on page 8 of this guide.
This collection of fun family
and personal activities abounds
in Knox County! We now have
three officially designated Ohio
ByWays (Wally Road, US 62,
and SR 514) in the northeastern
part of the county. The
Mohican River became our second
to receive State Scenic River status. The Kokosing was selected
last year as Ohio's first official “Water Trail.” We also have seen
progress on the opening of additional portions of the Heart of
Ohio Trail, our third rec trail. Plus, we have many other exciting
opportunities — camping in our funsites, fishing in our
lakes and rivers, canoeing, great golfing, stimulating jogging,
the best dining, exciting biking ... well, I think you understand.
Come and celebrate with us — celebrate our history, our heritage,
our lives as Americans.We invite you to participate in our
stimulating events and to visit our profound attractions as we
remember the sacred values that we cherish in America. It’s“Real People” that define these important attributes of any community.
These Real People live in Knox County, Ohio!
