Ohio Department of Natural Resources

Lauren S went above and beyond to help me the most information possible to get hunting last minute. She even took the time to send out an email with everything she mentioned.
Thank you!

Huge campus where you get lost if you have no idea where you are going

Perhaps the main office is OK but as a tourist utilising a State Park, spending vacation dollars in one of your facilities, we have a resonable expectation that the electricity will work and not get an argument with the ranger when we request repairing it.

Moving a rig to another spot is not a walk in the park in this mosquito infested park but that's camping thankfully a kid showed up with an adapter this morning perhaps that will help.

At one time, the ODNR was managed and run by serious and dedicated resource professionals. In the past 20 years, it has morphed into a twisted political arm of the governors office. Many of the serious professional scientists, such as wildlife biologists, soil scientists, hydrologists, etc., have been replaced by law enforcement, attorneys, equal opportunity officers, HR and “communication” specialists whose sole purpose is to manage and maintain a positive image of the governor. Any bad news is filtered and managed so that the governor escapes any negative press. This is done so that a cadre of sycophantic governmental appointees have perpetual employment (and retirement); many of whom are talentless and clueless. Some are sociopaths who will stop at nothing to gain and maintain their own positions of power. Over time, ODNR has come to be managed by political shills and hacks who have little real interest in managing the resources of the state, but who are more interested in managing their own political careers.

You can get your share of fracking when you visit these parks soon. Will love getting my dose of toxins when trying to be in nature. What should I expect when the Nimrods of Ohio determined "natural gas" to be green energy..... So sad they will do this but what can be expected from Republicans.

They have completely destroyed the park registration system.
