Buckeye Lake State Park - Ohio’s Oldest Lake

If you’re in Ohio for fishing, swimming, picnicking, boating, or water skiing, there’s no better stop than Buckeye Lake State Park. Its lake glistens and shines like a copper penny and light bounces off it like a great beacon. A short distance away from the Dawes Arboretum, The Buckeye Lake State Park is right near Blackhand Gorge, Cranberry Bog, and Flint Ridge Memorial.
Cranberry Bog. 100 yards off the north shore of Buckeye Lake, just west of Cranberry Point, you can only access the bog with a permit due to the fragile nature of the bog mat. The island at the middle is accessible only by boat, though a boardwalk is present as. And there’s an open house in June at the time of the orchids’ blooming. You don’t want to miss that.

Blackhand Gorge. A geologically spectacular narrow gorge cut by the Licking River. There is also a lovely display of spring wildflowers in the area. Buckeyelakestatepark.com
