Barkcamp State Park, Recreational park in Belmont County, United States.
The 1,005-acre park features Belmont Lake at its center, with mature woodlands, sandstone hills, and meadows throughout the natural landscape.
The land, acquired in 1955 by Ohio Department of Natural Resources, was formerly a logging site where workers removed bark from logs before mill transport.
The region holds connections to Native American groups including the Moundbuilders, Wyandots, Delaware, and Shawnee who inhabited the territory before settlement.
The park maintains 150 electrified campsites, swimming beaches, boat ramps, basketball courts, and multiple trails for hiking and horseback riding.
An antique barn from the 1800s serves as an educational center, offering summer naturalist programs and historical exhibits about the region.
