Vinton County is deep within Southeastern Ohio. Considered one of Ohio's nearly hidden treasures, Vinton County is known for its rugged hillsides, seemingly endless woodlands and wealth of diverse wildlife. Once full of industry, the land has reverted back to one of Ohio's few remaining truly wilderness areas. Many areas for recreation can be found in the numerous public parks and forests within Vinton County boundaries.  Nearby cities include Columbus and Lancaster to the north, Huntington (West Virginia) to the south and further to the west, Cincinnati.
