Things To Do

Make the most of your trip to Lake Hope State Park and enjoy these nearby outdoor adventures:

Hiking

With more than 17 miles of hiking trails, you can wind through the scenic woodland and along the lakeshore at your own pace, exploring the unique beauty only found at Lake Hope.

Birding

The park is home to over 120 bird species, a haven for bird watchers. Apart from the self-guided trails, you can also join a guided group tour or even nighttime owl walks at certain times of the year.

Bicycling

From a leisurely ride on flat ground to a blood-pumping rush on steep inclines and over sharp turns, the bike trails offer beautiful sights and memories for riders of all skill levels.

Boating

Soak in the sunshine as you cruise around Lake Hope. Boats with electric motors only are allowed on the lake; otherwise, you can also rent a canoe or rowboat mid-May through October.

Swimming

Go for a swim near the dam at Lake Hope. To make your experience easier, showers, restrooms, changing booths, and a concession area are located at nearby facilities.

Fishing

Fish for bluegill, catfish, and more in Lake Hope, or smallmouth and rock bass in its numerous streams. Shore, boat, and bowfishing are allowed so long as you have a valid Ohio Fishing License.
