Travel US 224, through Ohio s last frontier. Visit rural townships and exciting landmarks, while enjoying the sweeping park lands surrounding you. US 224 passes by the Blanchard River and Lake Erie, so it is a perfect place to enjoy the natural world at its best. This road is also the site of the Old Mill Stream, which inspired a famous song written in 1910 by Tell Taylor, Down by the Old Mill Stream. Go down by the river to share a picnic lunch under the trees where children can play in the shallow, cool waters.
