About Geneva State Park

 

Geneva State Park is located along the southern shore of Lake Erie in northeastern Ohio, near the city of Geneva. The park encompasses roughly 698 acres of primarily wooded and waterfront land on the Grand River's mouth, providing visitors access to a rich mix of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The park's proximity to Lake Erie creates a dynamic environment supporting diverse plant and animal life, including migratory birds and seasonal fish populations. Established in 1964, the park became a prominent destination for those seeking fishing, boating, swimming, and camping experiences. Visitors can explore wooded trails that offer gentle hikes through forests of oak, maple, and beech, combined with stunning views of the lake especially from the park's day-use areas. The park includes a marina with boat launches, picnic facilities, and a beach that draws families and anglers alike. The campgrounds are developed and provide spaces for tents and RVs, catering to both short-term visitors and longer stays. Winter activities such as ice fishing and cross-country skiing are possible during the colder months. Geneva State Park's easy access from major highways and its blend of water-based and terrestrial recreation make it a favored spot year-round for Ohio residents and travelers. The park supports both solitude seekers and active visitors, balancing natural preservation with recreational use.
