About Lake Logan State Park

Lake Logan State Park
 

Lake Logan State Park, located in the scenic Hocking Hills region of Ohio, offers a peaceful natural setting for outdoor enthusiasts. The centerpiece of the park is Lake Logan, a 400-acre reservoir known for its fishing, boating, and swimming. Anglers will find a variety of fish species, including bass, bluegill, and catfish. The surrounding hills are covered with mature forests, forming a habitat for diverse wildlife like deer and wild turkeys, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and photographers. Historically, the area was used for logging and farming before being developed into a state park to protect its ecological value. Visitors can explore several miles of trails that wind through wooded areas and along lakeshores, providing opportunities for hiking and wildlife observation. With picnicking areas and a fully equipped campground, Lake Logan State Park is an ideal spot for a day trip or weekend getaway.
