  • My husband and I did a day trip to the Shawnee State Park, near Portsmouth OH. We went to the fire tower, but it appears the rangers don't want anyone climbing up. We honored the "wet paint" sign...

  • Lots of activities and amenities. Went here to hike during fall color. Park is well maintained. Clean lakes, clean grounds, stinky portipotties: (, well-maintained trails. We came from out of town...

  • We enjoyed a beautiful day at Shawnee State park in June. When approaching Turkey Creek Lake, I was met with an ethereal cloud of swallowtail butterflies, like being in a fluttering snow globe. We enjoyed our lunch at the lodge. Catfish with an excellent homemade tarter sauce. Check their website for catfish buffet dinners.
  • It's a large and beautiful park! We stayed in a cabin, which are very well-maintained even though they are older. The only part I can't in good faith recommend is the campground. It isn't open for the season yet, so we drove through to check it out. (We have a camper.) It's very tight, the slips are small and unlevel, and there is no full hook-up--only electric. But otherwise, I highly recommend this park!
