Planning Tips

    About Cowan Lake Campground

    Tucked away in southwestern Ohio, Cowan Lake State Park wraps 700 tranquil acres around a no-wake lake where eagles soar overhead and wooded inlets invite exploration by kayak, canoe, or small fishing boat. Whether you're casting a line from the shore, hiking shaded trails to the nature center, or unwinding at your wooded campsite just steps from the beach, this hidden gem offers the perfect blend of water recreation and forest serenity—all without the roar of powerboats to break the peace.
