Beaver Creek State Park

About Beaver Creek State Park

Located at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, Beaver Creek State Park is one of Ohio's most scenic parks. The park covers more than 1,500 hectares of scenic hiking, biking, canoeing and camping trails.

The area's rich history invites visitors to explore historic sites such as the abandoned canal locks, the old railroad tracks and the Beaver Creek Bridge.

Beaver Creek State Park is located in the sandstone hills of eastern Ohio and is home to Beaver Creek, one of the oldest and largest creeks in Ohio. The park consists of several habitats, including the Little Beaver Valley, the Beaver River Valley and the Big Beaver Canyon. This valley (Little - Beaver) is characterized by a series of steep hills and valleys and a series of small lakes and streams. It is unique in that it is the only place on the planet where all four large glaciers can be detected in one place.

The flora of the park contains several interesting and unusual species, which are more common in the northern region, as well as a number of rare and rare plant and animal species.

The banks of the river are lined with a variety of delicate wildflowers, including wildflowers, shrubs, trees, grasses and other wild plants and animals. In the deep valleys along the rivers, a number of rare and rare bird species, reptiles and amphibians, as well as birds of prey such as squirrels, rabbits, foxes and birds can be found.

Many species find the different habitats of the park inviting, and recently there have been increased sightings of black bears. White-tailed deer are often seen, as is the elusive wild turkey making a comeback in the area.

Nearly 10,000 years ago, the first inhabitants of the Beaver Creek area were Indians from the Fluted Point culture. Nearby, flint knives, fluted arrowheads and pottery were found, as well as the remains of a large number of stone tools.

In recent history, Wyandot and Mingo Indians lived here, and the family of Logan, the famous Mingos chief, was massacred during the Lord Dunmore War that broke out in 1774. In the 1790s, a large number of the original Fluted Point Indians and their descendants moved to the valley.

The 73-mile Sandy Beaver Canal was built in the mid-19th century and included 90 locks and 30 dams. It was the largest and most elaborate canal that has remained intact and can be found throughout the park. The Lusk Lock is also known as Simon Girty Lock because it is believed that "Girty," the notorious renegade of the revolution, visited the area.

The beavers of the valley offered the possibility of hydroelectric power and led to the construction of the Gaston mill in 1837. When the railroad came to Ohio, canal and river traffic declined, and the founding of the Cleveland and Pittsburgh Railroad Company led to the closure of the Sandy Beaver Canal in 1853.

The mill has now been fully restored and is being ground seasonally by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service, as well as the state of Ohio.

Morgan and his 2,000 robbers traversed the entire Ohio latitude, from west to east, until he was finally caught in the park. Morgan was responsible for stealing more than $1.5 million worth of gold, silver and other precious metals. The pioneer village next to the mill includes log cabins, a schoolhouse, a smithy and a church. Another local historical significance is the first post office in Beaver Creek State Park and the original mill site.

In the 1840s, the emergence of a pottery led to the development of the Beaver Creek Pottery Company, one of Ohio's first commercial potteries. The industry was so successful that the area became known as a "pottery center" in the United States. By the mid-19th century, the region had produced more than 2,000 tonnes of pottery and 1.5 million pounds of ceramics, and, according to a report by a local historian, 24 tonnes of goods were produced in a single pot every day.

When the Ohio Department of Natural Resources was founded in 1949, Beaver Creek was inaugurated as a state park. The campsite is located high above Little Beaver Creek and offers a large, shady spot for camping, fishing, hiking and other outdoor activities, as well as river access.

The 55 non-electric pitches have tables, fireplaces, pits, latrines and landfills, and two Rent-A-Camp units, consisting of a covered picnic table, are available on reservation during the summer season. Pet camping is also permitted on designated pitches in Beaver Creek State Park and other state parks in the area.

The National Park is not only the only one in which all four major glacier areas can be traced, but also unique because it is the site of two major ice ages in human history: the Great Ice Age (14,000 - 12,500 years ago) and more recently the last Ice Age (13,200 - 11,800 years ago). The valley of the Little, or beaver, is characterized by a wide range of geological features, such as mountains, valleys, lakes, streams, rivers and streams.
