Burr Oak State Park, State park in southeastern Ohio, United States.
The 2,593-acre park contains a 664-acre lake with numerous boat ramps, fishing spots, and 28 miles of hiking trails through dense forests.
The area flourished as a coal mining region until 1924 when a devastating fire destroyed the coal tipple and led to the abandonment of Santoy village.
Native American tribes first inhabited the Sunday Creek Valley, utilizing the abundant natural resources for survival before European settlers arrived in the region.
The park offers varied accommodations including a full-service lodge with 60 rooms, 30 family cottages, and multiple campgrounds with electrical hookups.
The Tom Jenkins Dam, constructed in 1950 across Sunday Creek, created Burr Oak Lake which now hosts numerous water recreational activities.
