We’re big fans of Alum Creek – there’s just so much to do! During our latest visit, we stumbled upon something new (at least, new to us): the Nature Center. It’s been around for quite some time, but somehow it had eluded our radar until now. I can’t believe we hadn’t discovered it sooner, but I’m thrilled we finally did!
Activities We Love at Alum Creek State Park:
Beach Strolls: Take a leisurely walk along the 3,000-foot beach, the largest inland beach in Ohio’s state park system.
Playground Fun: Enjoy some playtime at the playground located near the beach.

Blacklick Woods features 652 acres of woods, fields, seasonal swamp ponds, a small prairie and a golf course. It has one of the best remaining beech-maple forests in central Ohio along with a buttonbush swamp. The forest areas are laced with trails that wind through ..read more
