Tinkers Creek State Park, State park in Portage County, United States.
Description
Tinkers Creek State Park is a natural area covering about 355 acres with spring-fed lakes, wetlands, and forests. The land supports many waterfowl, beavers, and other native animal species throughout its habitats.
History
The land was originally a private park called Colonial Spring Gardens before Ohio acquired it in 1966. The state converted it to a public park in 1973.
Culture
The park sits where two rivers flow in opposite directions, creating a natural boundary visible in the landscape. This water divide shapes how people experience the land when walking through the trails.
Practical
The park offers hiking trails, fishing opportunities, picnic areas, and archery for visitors to enjoy. Marked pathways make it easy to navigate and explore different parts of the grounds.

A local organization has managed both this park and the adjacent nature preserve together since 2014. This partnership allows both areas to be cared for as one connected landscape.
