Nestled within the sandstone hills of the Appalachian Plateau, this region offers an impressive second-growth forest that blankets the hills and valleys, providing a glimpse into Ohio’s pre-settlement landscapes. The park’s serene lake and scenic hills attract campers, paddlers, anglers, horseback riders, and hikers seeking an immersive experience in the area’s natural beauty. Stop in at the historic barn at Barkcamp, dating back to the 1800s, now hosting summer nature programs and historic displays for an enriching visit.
