Alum Creek State Park, State park in Delaware County, Ohio, US
The 4,630-acre park contains a 3,387-acre reservoir surrounded by forests, cliffs of Ohio shale, and North America's largest inland beach.
The park land holds remnants of settlements from freed slaves who traveled through Ohio from North Carolina during the Underground Railroad movement.
Archaeological excavations before the valley flooding revealed seven mounds from the Adena culture, dating back more than 2,000 years in this area.
The park provides facilities for swimming, boating, water skiing, fishing, camping, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and winter recreation activities.
The Sycamore Trail along Alum Creek served as a route for 40,000 escaping slaves who waded through the water to avoid detection.
