Below, we offers some tips and tricks we hope will help ease your planning mind and make your visit to Noble County a great one!
Noble's Travel Packing Tips:
Lay everything out before you pack, then pack each outfit one by one to ensure nothing is forgotten.
Download or bring along a Noble County Highway map! Mobile service can be spotty in rural areas. Come prepared for a momentary drop.
Bookmark the digital Noble County Visitor Guide (or if room permits, print a copy to bring along.) You'll find nearby recommendations as you explore.
Have a dedicated, pre-packed travel bag for your toiletries and hygiene products. Keep your apparel and other textiles free of leaks.
Prepare a health/medicine kit including sunblock and bug spray, essential for nature walks and outdoor activities at the Gene Stratton Porter State Historic Site, Noble Trails and many other outdoor destinations in Noble County.
Maximize the use of soft-sided bags for road trips. Soft sides help making packing in your car, van, SUV, or camper a bit easier.
Be prepared for wet swimwear! Bring a plastic bag or tote to store wet clothes, towels, or swimwear. In the spring, summer, and fall, Noble County is best appreciated from any of the 117 Lakes dotted across the region.
Roll, don't fold clothing, bedding, or towels. Rolling saves space while preserving your items wrinkle-free! Whether preparing to camp at Chain O Lakes State Park or for a stay at a romantic bed and breakfast like the Kimmell House Inn, this space-saving tip will help you make the most of the space you have.
Maximize your space even more by renting kayaks, canoes, and paddle boats at Chain O Lakes State Park or Bixler Lake Public Access Boat Launch for the day. Leave yours at home!
