In winter it closes to protect the plumbing from freezing and lake-effect cold, so your options narrow considerably in the off-season.

Fall is excellent for cooler, comfortable travel and good color, especially up in the Cuyahoga Valley, with most facilities still running into October.

A few seasonal ones. Winters in northeast Ohio are cold and can bring significant lake-effect snow blowing in off Lake Erie, so if you travel in the cold months, watch forecasts and be ready for closures, since the state-park facilities shut down.
