Between New York and Chicago, Ohio has always been seen as an industrial and commercial interlude with its three major cities: Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. This is why the state is better known in these areas than for tourism, even though it has a few attractions. Among them: the Lake Erie Islands, prized for their beaches and landscapes, or Cuyahoga Valley National Park for its caves, rivers, waterfalls, and small villages. Also, Holmes County, home to the world's largest concentration of Amish and Mennonite communities, with tourism centered around these groups.
