Lake Alma has an interesting history, and a lot has happened to make it into the state park that it is today. Back in 1903, the site was constructed to form a private amusement park. However, today the park consists of a quiet lake and gently meandering stream through a wooded valley. It lies in the unglaciated hill area of Ohio, which forms part of the Appalachian Highlands, with nearby towns including Jackson, Wellston, and McArthur.

You could spend hours hiking and picnicking in Lake Alma State Park, with four miles of scenic hiking trails taking you through the woodland and lake. If you rent an RV in Jackson County in the winter months, many of the trails transform into cross country skiing and sledding trails, and the park can be seen in an entirely different light. There are a number of picnic tables scattered throughout the site and nature programs so you can learn more about flora and fauna of the area.

Discover Lake Alma State Park


Getting Outdoors

Two large, public beaches are located on the northern shore of the lake. This area is popular with those that enjoy relaxing with family and friends and maybe even going for a swim if the weather is warm enough. There are a number of amenities here, such as toilets and changing booths that allow for a comfortable day relaxing on the sand before heading back to an RV rental.

The lake is popular for many recreational activities, including fishing and boating. A range of watercraft use the lake but need to have either no motor or an electronic motor. This can be a great way to see the park from a different perspective and enjoy some time bobbing around on the water, exploring hidden coves. If you have a valid Ohio fishing license, you're also welcome to fish on the lake, where you'll have a chance of catching bass, bluegill, crappie, and channel catfish, which is a big draw for many people who get a rental motorhome at Lake Alma State Park.

Explore the wonder of nature when motorhome camping with a short hike. There are three main hiking trails at the park, which in total covers three miles.
