Pymatuning State Park, State park in Ashtabula County, United States.
Description
Pymatuning State Park is a nature area of about 3,500 acres centered on a large lake that straddles the Ohio-Pennsylvania border. The park provides water recreation opportunities and natural settings for outdoor activities year-round.
History
The land was originally home to the Lenape people before the Seneca took control and shaped the region's future. The name Pymatuning comes from a Seneca chief whose legacy is preserved in the park's name today.
Culture
Two ancient mounds built by early Native American peoples rest beneath the waters of Pymatuning Lake, speaking to the human presence that once shaped this land. These submerged sites remind visitors that the lake holds layers of history in its depths.
Practical
The park has nearly 400 campsites with electric hookups, showers, and full facilities for overnight visitors. Access to the water and hiking trails is straightforward, with clear signs throughout the grounds.
Did you know?
