A place shaped by deep roots, genuine people, and a momentum you can feel the moment you arrive.
From quiet mornings by the water to world-class art, championship golf, historic architecture, local breweries, and scenic parks, Springfield offers the kind of experiences that stay with you long after the trip ends.
But what makes this place special goes beyond what you can see and do. Springfield is a point of connection for the region—where history and innovation meet, and where the energy of Ohio continues to move forward.
This guide isn’t a checklist. It’s an invitation from locals who love where they live and want to share it with you.
Come experience Springfield the way we do: authentically, warmly, and like you already belong here.

MAD RIVER ADVENTURES
CANOE & KAYAK RENTALS
Canoe or kayak through the unspoiled, cool and clear waters of the Mad River in Clark County. The Mad River is an excellent river for you to discover the great outdoors by canoe. The water is clear enough to see the river bottom in the more shallow areas and has a light current, based on recent weather, to carry you along, but it’s not so strong that you can’t paddle against it.

Mad River Fishing
GREAT TROUT FISHING
Ohio’s oldest trout stream is the Mad River. Stocking of this river began in the late 1800s with the introduction of brook trout. Then in 1884, rainbow trout were introduced to the stream; and in 1931, ODNR switched to stocking brown trout in the stream. Today the stream is stocked annually with 6”-8” brown trout to supplement the population. Fly fishing is good on the Mad River, as there are good hatches of mayflies, caddis flies, and other popular trout foods throughout the spring, summer, and fall months.
