East Fork State Park

East Fork State Park is a protected landscape in Ohio featuring rolling terrain and winding river valleys. A large reservoir dominates the area, offering opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming.

The park developed in the 1970s as part of a flood control program by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Construction of a major reservoir reshaped the landscape.

Archaeological evidence indicates that Native American communities, including Moundbuilders, Adena, and Hopewell Indians, inhabited this region for 3,000 years.

The park provides numerous camping areas with electrical connections and scattered picnic facilities with tables and grills. Boat ramps and docks are available for water access throughout the grounds.

A multi-day trail circles the park and connects different areas across varied terrains. This route allows hikers to explore the landscape's diversity during an extended journey.
