Zaleski State Forest, OH

Travel Guide

Hope Lake State Park has a surprising amount of fantastic single track mountain biking! Multiple trails that go for miles through the deep woods, across streams, up and down hills.
The beautiful view overlooking Lake Hope, the namesake of the 2,983-acre Lake Hope State Park. The park lies entirely within the 26,824-acre Zaleski State Forest.

The park provides opportunities for #hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, photography, dining, and general R&R.

The park even has a really cool summer program where you can feed hummingbirds from your hand! You hold a vial of sugar water at arm's length and from out of nowhere the hummingbirds start appearing! If you're steady and patient, they'll begin to feed right in front of you!
