Delaware State Park

Delaware State Park is a natural area in Delaware County featuring a large reservoir with a sandy beach, multiple hiking trails, and spaces for water-based recreation. The grounds include forested sections, open fields, and facilities for swimming and boating.

The park became part of Ohio's state park system in 1952, providing new recreation options for the region. It has remained an important destination for outdoor activities ever since.

Environmental education programs at Delaware State Park connect participants with local wildlife, natural habitats, and conservation practices through guided nature walks.

The park entrance on U.S. Highway 23 North provides straightforward access to the beach, trails, and water activities. Visitors should check seasonal conditions as weather and facility availability change throughout the year.

Free beach wheelchairs are available for visitors with mobility needs, allowing access to the shoreline and water activities. This service helps ensure that people with different abilities can enjoy the recreation areas.
