The Buckeye State: How Big is Ohio REALLY?
Ah, Ohio. The land of astronauts, Neil Armstrong taking one giant leap for mankind, and... cornfields? That's right, folks, Ohio boasts a landscape that's equal parts aerospace innovation and, well, a whole lotta corn. But hey, there's beauty in simplicity, and besides, all that corn makes one heck of a delicious cornbread!
But enough about foodstuffs (for now), we're here to get down to brass tacks (or should we say, cornstalks?): exactly how big is Ohio?
Here's the lowdown: Ohio clocks in at a respectable 44,826 square miles. That's not too shabby, considering it puts the state right in the middle of the pack size-wise in the US. You won't be needing a passport to explore every nook and cranny of Ohio in a single road trip, but you might want to pack some snacks (because, corn!).
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Hold on a sec, though! Isn't there more to the story?
You betcha! As with most things in life, there's a bit more to Ohio's size than meets the eye. Here's a breakdown of the nitty-gritty:
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
- Land area: 40,847.9 square miles. That's where you'll find all the cornfields, cities, and Neil Armstrong museums (we presume there's at least one).
- Water area: 3,965.8 square miles. Ohio's got some lakes and rivers too, perfect for cooling off after a long day of, you guessed it, exploring cornfields.

Still have questions? We got you covered!
Tip: Take your time with each sentence.
How to:
- Measure the square mileage of Ohio yourself? Grab a map, a ruler, and a very large calculator. We recommend packing some snacks for this one, it might take a while.
- Find out fun facts about Ohio? The internet is your friend! Just be sure to avoid getting lost in a Wikipedia hole about the history of corn cultivation (it happens to the best of us).
- Plan a trip to Ohio? Pack your bags, grab your sunscreen, and get ready for a corntastic adventure! (Seriously though, Ohio has a lot to offer besides corn).
- Avoid getting lost in a giant corn maze? Stick to the well-trodden paths, and maybe bring a compass (just in case).
- Appreciate the beauty of a simple cornfield? Take a deep breath, soak in the fresh air, and marvel at the ingenuity of a plant that can turn into delicious food, fuel, and even building materials (seriously, look it up!).
