Cowan Lake State Park, State park in Clinton County, Ohio, United States
Cowan Lake State Park encompasses 1,075 acres of protected land with a 695-acre lake surrounded by beech and maple forest.
The land was initially inhabited by Miami and Shawnee tribes until the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 opened the territory for settlement.
The park serves as an educational center where visitors study fossils embedded in limestone formations that date back to ancient inland seas.
Four miles of hiking trails, camping facilities, boat rentals, and fishing opportunities are available throughout the operating season from spring to fall.
The park maintains specific areas for observing rare American lotus flowers and provides designated zones for muskellunge fishing in the lake.
