BarkCamp State Park

Belmont, Ohio

40.041010, -81.024069

The park derives its unusual name from Barkcamp Creek, the former site of a logging camp where logs were stripped of their bark in preparation for delivery to the mill. The park and trails surround the 117-acre Belmont Lake.

The hills and valleys of the area are clothed with a second-growth forest that support a variety of plant and animal life. The observant visitor may find a wealth of woodland wildflowers including wild geranium, hepatica, bloodroot and spring beauties. The woodlands explode with flowering dogwood and redbud blossoms in spring.

Songbirds, squirrels, skunk, opossum, raccoon, white-tailed deer and the wild turkey take up residence in the park's varying habitats.

For the horsemen BarkCamp offers 27 electric equestrian sites, a horse washing station, and a mounting ramp, in addition to 24 miles of easy to moderately challenging bridle trails.
