A little over 30 miles south of Toledo, OH, sits the small town of Helena. In the late 19th century, this village was founded as a passage for railroads coming from some of Ohio's largest cities. It served as a stopping point for trains and traders, as well as a simple means of quick travel. Since it's so close to one of the Great Lakes, as well as many other cities that have popped up since then, multiple highways run through and around the town.

Although it's mostly just farmland, the agricultural surroundings of Helena are quite fascinating. Lake Erie sits within a close distance of town, as does Bowling Green, one of Ohio's most famous college towns. If you're looking to discover the heart of Ohio and you want to explore the great outdoors, book an RV in Helena and get ready for the exciting adventure ahead.
