Alum Creek Beach, Sand beach in Orange Township, Ohio, US.

The expansive 3,000-foot beach stretches along Alum Creek Lake, featuring soft sand shores surrounded by green forests and rolling hills.

The beach area forms part of Alum Creek State Park, established in 1974 following the construction of Alum Creek Dam for flood control.

The land around Alum Creek holds historical connections to the Underground Railroad, with Africa Road named after freed individuals who settled nearby.

Visitors can access changing rooms, outdoor showers, sand volleyball courts, and two separate playgrounds equipped with various climbing structures.

The beach maintains status as Ohio's largest inland swimming area, incorporating educational features like the Storybook Trail and Little Free Library.
