Alum Creek State Park’s large reservoir and gently rolling span of fields and woodlands provide a hub of recreational activity just minutes from Ohio’s capital city. Quiet coves nestled among shale cliffs await the solitary fisherman in the park’s northern reaches while sunseekers mingle with thousands on Ohio’s largest inland beach. Alum Creek’s 289 family campsites offer both wooded and sunny areas, some of which overlook the lake. This well-designed electrified campground has a beach and a boat ramp for the exclusive use of overnight guests. Three full-service campsites offer sewer and water hookups as well. Heated shower facilities are located throughout the facility. Hikers and horsepeople enjoy the rugged northern reaches of the park. Over forty miles of trail wind along the lakeshore through mature beech-maple forests and across deep ravines.
