Many of northern Ohio's finest tourist sites are within a short drive of Nelson-Kennedy Ledges State Park. Those who wish to complement their visit to Nelson-Kennedy with a camping adventure will want to stay at nearby Punderson State Park.

Tinker's Creek State Nature Preserve is located adjacent to Tinker's Creek State Park and features extensive marshes.

The preserve is open during daylight hours and is accessible only on foot. Parking is available on Old Mill Road in Aurora.
