Paint Creek State Park
Paint Creek State Park is a 5,652-acre state park located in the Highland and Ross counties of the U.S. state of Ohio.[1] The park contains several campgrounds and a lake, created by the damming of Paint Creek.[2] Paint Creek State Park was created in 1974.[3]
The Highlands Sanctuary, a private nature preserve, is contiguous with the park.
The underlying geology of the park is limestone, and significant limestone bluffs may be seen -- and hiked to -- just below the dam. The bluffs feature an outstanding colony of the smooth cliffbrake, Pellaea glabella.
