Ohio State Parks Preparing for Total Solar Eclipse on April 8

Nearly two dozen state parks will be in the path of totality

The total solar eclipse is just two weeks away, and departments around the state are in the final stages of preparation for the rare event.

"It is kind of like the Super Bowl for us," said Jason Fallon, communications manager with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. "We haven't seen something like this since 1806."

Delaware State Park on Monday was calm and quiet. On April 8, it will be a much different scene. The park is one of many locations across central Ohio and the state expecting big crowds for the eclipse. Nearly two dozen state parks, including Delaware, will be in the path of totality, Fallon said. ODNR will have hundreds of eclipse programs statewide.
