THAT’S MY WORLD,WATERY WEDNESDAY,NATIONAL ROAD,CLIFTON MILL,CLIFTON GORGE,VIRTUAL HIKE

The National Road, in many places known as Route 40, was built between 1811 and 1834 to reach the western settlements. So let’s go Honkin’ Down the Highway with the Beach Boys as we visit Clifton Mill and Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve.

Taking the National Road RD. 40 West out of Columbus,Ohio to Springfield then Rt. #72 (Simon Kenton Trace) South to Clifton,Ohio.


First stop is Clifton Mill because I’m hungry. (imagine that)
