Sycamore State Park

Sycamore State Park is a state park in Montgomery County that encompasses woodlands, meadows, and ponds along Wolf Creek. The terrain supports different plant communities and water features that attract visitors to explore the natural landscape.

The land was originally home to the Adena culture, who built an earthen mound on the property. Following the Greenville Treaty in 1795, European settlement expanded into the region and fundamentally altered the use of these lands.

The park's name comes from the sycamore trees that dominate the landscape throughout the grounds. Visitors walking through notice how these large trees shape the character of different areas and create natural gathering spaces.

The park offers hiking trails, bridle paths, and picnic areas that allow visitors to enjoy different recreational activities. The main pathways are clearly marked, making it easy for guests to navigate the grounds and choose their preferred activities.

The earthen mound built by the Adena people remains visible on the grounds today, surviving from approximately 2500 years ago. This archaeological feature offers visitors a rare chance to witness an ancient construction technique preserved in the landscape.
