Never underestimate Ohio. This state park is easily one of the best in the state, and I absolutely…read moreloved my trip here. The lodge was amazing and made the whole experience even better. The welcome center seemed brand new and was really well done, with a small museum, plus access to the campground and tons of cabins available to rent. The hiking here is incredible. We did the Hemlock Gorge Trail, and it was just the right level of challenge while still being super enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful the entire way. I also highly recommend checking out the Little and Big Lyons waterfalls. It made for a great loop trail and was definitely a highlight. The park itself is very well maintained. We visited right after some heavy winds, so there were quite a few downed trees, but maintenance was already out there actively clearing and fixing things, which was impressive to see. Overall, such a beautiful park and a trip full of unforgettable memories.

The steep downhill descent was worth it for the river views and crossing the cable bridge. The restrooms near the dam were open, but badly in need of cleaning.

That said you pay a hefty price so there should be some good "free" stuff to enjoy. We were in a fairly big lot for a pull through space. The pool was jampacked until Sunday morning. That was when we decided to visit it. There seems to be a lot of seasonal campers that are catered to. That is the first place we've stayed at that had a full bar! There is a small kitchen that does some great pizzas and chicken wings. Thursday through Sunday the kitchen is utilized for breakfast and lunches as well.

Rafting family trip…read more We went on a Saturday to canoe. We had two adults and 3 kids in our group. I asked what they would recommend based on the river conditions. I was told we could not fit all 5 of us in the canoe we would need a raft. We decided on the 3 mile trip since it was supposed to take 2 to 3 hours. It only took about an hour. For the price I would recommend taking the 7 mile trip since it was a lot of money for a short period of time.

We camped here for Memorial Day weekend and had a great time! After another friend recommended this…read morecampground we decided to book a stay. They have all different type of site options from full hookup with concrete pads to electric only grassy sites to camp sites with horse friendly tie areas. I would guess there are over 500 sites here. Plus they have very nice cabins to rent. There is a marina for those that want to dock seasonally and a boat ramp for those that just want to put their boat in for the day. No extra cost if camping for the weekend. You can also kayak or rent kayaks and pontoons from the marina part. The welcome center has a naturalist area with educational animals and other interactive exhibits where kids can see and ask questions. During summer months they also have all kinds of activities for families from naturalist led hikes, movie nights, and educational programs. The beach area is a good size for everyone to play. You can pay extra to go on the wibits- water course. They have food vendors and bathrooms close by. Most of the facilities like shower houses and playgrounds are newer and well maintained. Since it is such a large campground I highly recommend bringing bikes or a golf cart (you will want to call ahead to make sure yours is inspected for operation in the park). Also lots of ranger patrols for safety but still freedom to enjoy your weekend.

And there is an admission charge if you can believe it... The chalet on the hill has a small store in it but since it's on state land there are no potent potables so again...Plan accordingly...Pack everything you want BEFORE you head out because there isn't much in that neck of the woods either...There is a Marathon that does have needs but not a great selection so...Plan accordingly... There is a beach that consists of "sand" that is what is washed up from the bottom and is pretty much just gravel mixed with dirt... Thankfully all we did at the beach was stage it for a gathering point off the boat.... I'd go back cause the lake is plenty big and not overly crowded...So long as we had no reason to get off the boat... But be careful....There is water patrol so use your head here folks....

We went to a wedding at the Mohicans treehouse venue. Smack in the middle of nowhere the venue is…read morestunning. The most idealistic spot with a patio for outdoor dancing and even a fire pit. Most of the wedding party rented one of the treehouses or cabins on property for the night. Treehouses are pretty tight quarters. The pictures online do not show the true scale of the cramped area. We stayed at the Killbuck cabin and loved it. With 2 upstairs bedrooms and a queen bed and 5 twins it was roomy. I only wish we could have stayed longer. My advice to the owners- invest in some good bedding and pillows. For the money it costs your sleep should be as dreamy as the venue.
