Old Mill Stream Scenic Byway
Van Buren State Park, OH

Van Buren State Park offers a retreat from the fast pace of life. The park is 251 acres of protected woodlands with a river that flows into the 45-acre lake. The lake is available for fishing and boating in the summer and ice fishing and ice-skating during the winter. Come and use the park's 6-10 mile trails to hike, horseback ride, or mountain bike. In the winter bring your skis to experience great cross-country skiing.

If you just want to sit and relax, bring your family and a picnic basket and take advantage of the picnic sites scattered around the park. Four sites are placed in strategic locations to give you the best view of the lake and woodlands. But get there early, because the sites are first come first serve.
