The Underrated Ohio Lake That’s Perfect For A Summer Day
The perfect way to spend a summer day is out on the water.
Whether you take a boat ride, swim the day away or jump in your kayak, nothing beats a lake day in Ohio. Fortunately, the Buckeye State is home to several lakes that are perfect for some fun in the sun. One of the best, lesser-known lakes in Ohio is Rocky Fork Lake in Hillsboro. It’s one of the most underrated lakes in the state—and it’s picture perfect for a summer day.
Within Rocky Fork State Park, you'll find a picturesque lake that makes a great summer day trip destination.
You'll find it at 9800 N Shore Dr, Hillsboro, OH 45133.
There are two large public beaches alongside the lake, which covers a total of 2,080 acres. If you want a beach day close to home, Rocky Fork Lake is a great option.
Pets are permitted on all sites. (However, pets are not permitted on swimming beaches.) A miniature golf course, basketball court and corn hole are also available.
