Under three hours from Columbus, the state park boasts a 305-acre lake, connects to the 72-mile North Bend Rail Trail and is located only a few short miles from U.S. Route 50, offering four-lane access.

Guests at the state park have a choice in how much they embrace the outdoors and may choose between the 29-room lodge, nine modern vacation cabins and 70 plus camping sites, divided between two campgrounds.
