A couple good hints for unfamiliar birding locations: 1. Google the name, and add "+ birding" - you will usually get a list of websites with several giving you the location. Ken Ostermiller's eBird hotspot page is usually the top result, since a lot of the locations people report from now are eBird hotspots. 2. Check out http://www.ohiobirds.org/site/library/sites/alpha.php You shouldn't need to bother with coordinates otherwise.
