Ohio is churning out something sweet this summer! Whether you’re craving indulgent black raspberry chocolate chip cones, a mangonada bursting with tropical flavors, or a decadent turtle pecan sundae, the 2025 Ohio Ice Cream Trail has you covered. Now in its eighth year, this summertime tradition returns bigger and better—boasting a record 150 mouthwatering stops across the state.
The Ohio Ice Cream Trail highlights family-owned shops, beloved local favorites, and nationally recognized Ohio chains. The full trail is available online and as a printable version.
TourismOhio launched the Ice Cream Trail in 2018 with just 15 shops. Since then, it has grown into a statewide summer tradition featuring 150 delicious destinations.
“Two scoops are good, but three are better—so we nearly tripled the stops on this year’s Ohio Ice Cream Trail,” says Sarah Wickham, state tourism director. “Ohio’s creameries and scoop shops dish out unforgettable summer memories, so we are spotlighting as many as possible.”
New stops on this year’s trail include Quarry Hill Orchards in Berlin Heights, which adds a twist to its unique treats by using its own orchard-grown fruit blended with vanilla ice cream, and Erin Ann’s in Sylvania, known for its allergen-friendly menu of dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and dye-free treats. You’ll also find Poncho’s Ice Cream in Circleville, dishing out bold Mexican desserts, and The Jug in Middletown, famous for its classic root beer floats made with house-brewed root beer.
