Feast of the Flowering Moon festival in Yoctangee Park is definitely at the top of the must see list in Chillicothe. Such beautiful dances and stories. Tons to eat and buy if that is what you are after as well. I love this beautiful park for so many reasons and the festivals here are added bonuses.

Stopped by Yoctangee Park in Chillicothe after the first measurable snowfall of the year. Very beautiful with everything covered in snow.

We visited the Chillicothe Halloween Festival at this park. The park itself is beautiful. The festival was a lot smaller than we had anticipated after driving an hour to get there but we had a good time. Lovely atmosphere!

Is children aloud to write with chaulk in the city parks

Joshua Roberts | Dec 2, 2018
roger myers | Dec 3, 2018

I don't know for certain about the legality/permission but I have seen it on some areas of the pavement so would think as long as it's not obscene or otherwise disruptive they look the other way at the very least.

Yes but sometimes they are locked for no specific reason or time. There are a couple fountains. It is one of the nicest parks I've ever seen. There are 2 bathroom stations, 1 on each side of the park.

Is there a lake or water recreation near chilocothie?

Mary Barth | Dec 2, 2019
Tim Reiter | Dec 3, 2019

None of the other lakes mentioned are in Ross County, but they are all within 35 miles (Deer Crk & Lake White are within 25 miles) Besides the small lake in Yoctangee Park, there is Ross Lake, a few miles outside the city. There are two lakes at Scioto Trail State Park, approximately 10 miles south of the city. There is also a large lake at Paint Creek State Park, but it is in extreme S/W Ross Co., 20+ miles from the city of Chillicothe. I hope that this is helpful!
