About NEOutdoors

Our Core Mission

NEOutdoors is a specialized recreation community designed for adults across Northeast Ohio who want to stay active, get outside, and meet groups doing the same. Whether you want to challenge yourself on rugged singletrack or enjoy a peaceful walk followed by a local pour-over, we cover it all.

We curate and fact-check local written guides and videos, delivering them in a quick-scanning, 30-minute-or-less format so you can spend less time searching and more time outdoors.
