Blennerhasset Island State Park

Hop aboard a sternwheeler ferry and cruise across the Ohio River to this dreamy, history-soaked island. Blennerhassett Island is home to a grand Palladian mansion, peaceful gardens, and stories dating back to Aaron Burr’s infamous military expedition. Tour the restored home, take a horse-drawn carriage ride, or rent a bike to explore the island’s shaded trails.
