Jackson Lake State Park, State park in Jackson County, Ohio, US
Jackson Lake State Park encompasses 106 acres of land with a 252-acre lake, offering forests, waterways, and hills in southeastern Ohio.
The park land supported numerous iron furnaces in the 1800s, with the Jefferson Iron Furnace producing cannons during the Civil War period.
Native American communities left their mark on the region through burial mounds and petroglyphs, particularly the nearby Leo Petroglyph site.
Visitors can access camping facilities, boat launches, swimming areas, and fishing spots where bass, bluegill, and muskellunge inhabit the waters.
The Jefferson Iron Furnace remnants within the park stand as physical evidence of the region's industrial past in the Hanging Rock Iron district.
