West Branch State Park, State park in Portage County, US.
The Michael J. Kirwan Reservoir forms a substantial lake with numerous forks and coves across 2,650 acres of water within the 5,379-acre park point.
Native Americans and early settlers extracted salt from the Mahoning River, which influenced the river's name derived from the Delaware Indian word 'mahonink'.
The park incorporates Captain John Campbell's land office, a military commander from the War of 1812 who shaped Portage County's development.
The park maintains 14 miles of hiking paths, 20 miles of horse trails, and 12 miles of mountain biking routes for year-round outdoor activities.
The park's extensive camping options include 29 full-service sites, 155 electric hookup spots, and specialized areas for boat access near the lake.
