I enjoyed the nature trails that I ventured at this location. It did not take very long to discover the enrichment of good quality clay hidden in the streams, as well as, an arrowhead that I stumbled upon looking for rocks in the creek. There is abundant wildlife that can be seen. Good for bird watching as well, accounted for an Broad-winged hawk, Cardinals, great horned owl, eastern tower, eastern phoebe, and many more.

This is a really good choice for a local camp ground, very clean and the restrooms was as well very clean and usable. I would highly recommend this place!

Sprawling, pristine manicured state park on picturesque, large inland lake. Paved roadways are nice for bike riding. Many trails were noted throughout the park. The weather, unfortunately, was cold and rainy for the middle of May in Ohio, so we didn't get to do muck trail exploration. Very nice commissary with real ice-cream, not soft serve. Also, a staffed nature center with lots to observe and explore. Hope to return to this park and area again.

This park is so clean and well maintained. The state run components are very well done and the park has a well operated "Friends of Cowan Lake" that has a lot of well done events. The trails are well maintained. They aren't very long, which would be my only critique, but if you're up for a quick hike, there are several perfect trails. There are beautiful lake front views. The facilities are clean. There's a paired set of balls eagles that best there so that's a nice treat to see also.
