RV rental Forked Run State Park, OH: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

One of Forked Run State Park’s most attractive features has to be its lake, Forked Run Lake. Formed as a tributary of the Ohio River, Forked Run Lake offers a great amount of lakeside recreation to Forked Run State Park campers. Fantastic fishing experiences can be had on the banks of the Forked Run Lake, and it is easy to see why. The lake is home to a variety of fish species, including largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, golden trout, muskie, and rainbow trout. Although the lake only covers just over a hundred acres, due to careful conservation, a rich and healthy habitat has been created here. Along with the rewarding fishing, Forked Run State Park is also a fun place to get out onto the water. Boating on the lake takes many forms, from kayaking, canoeing, or pontoon boating. Although there are strictly no horsepower restrictions on the lake, boaters are encouraged to stick to a no-wake speed. This restriction also allows the lake to be enjoyed by those who wish to use the lake for swimming. This swimming can be done from the lake’s designated swimming beach. Those motorhome camping without their own boats can rent a range of boats from the state park itself. Forked Run State Park is not only about Forked Run Lake and the Ohio River, but the vast woodlands and wildlife also create the perfect setting for hikers and hunters. The park has a network of hiking trails that take hikers from the park’s grounds and out into the lush forests of southern Ohio. Those who are keen hunters can also hunt for deer, wild turkey, squirrel, and grouse in certain areas of the park. Hunters can also venture out into the nearby Shade River State Forest when based in Forked Run State Park.
