Punderson State Park is located in northeast Ohio's, Newbury Township. Acclaimed for being Ohio’s premier winter sports park, it’s not very far from the cities of Aurora and Wickliffe. For some more added fun, include them on your motorhome camping trip to Punderson State Park. The park offers a range of outdoor recreation activities for visitors, so it’s a good idea to book an RV in Geauga County to cover the park and its surrounding towns that have many unique areas of interest. The park is also home to the 150-acre Punderson Lake, making it an ideal fishing and boating location. Enjoy the diverse vegetation of the park, including wild geranium, buttercup and blue-eyed grass that abound in the area. When it comes to wildlife, keep a lookout for white-tailed deer, opossum, beavers, and raccoons. The lake is home to plenty of great blue heron, Canada geese, and wood ducks.

Named after the Punderson family who were the first settlers in Newbury Township, they made an estate right by the lake, and it became a popular place for people to visit. The government then purchased the land, and the Punderson State Park came into being in 1951.
