Jesse Owens State Park

It all started when…

Jesse Owens State Park is a success story in environmental stewardship, conservation and reclaiming land for outdoor recreation. Located in Morgan County and surrounded by thousands of acres of land open to public use, the park is teeming with wildlife. A popular hunting area, the park offers four primitive campgrounds at no charge. The park's variety of ponds and lakes offer plentiful fishing and paddling options. Additional acres are available for hunting and fishing in the adjacent wildlife areas.

The Miner’s Memorial Park is a monument to the achievements of the men and women of American Electric Power (AEP) and its subsidiary Central Ohio Coal Company, located along State Route 78. One attraction here is the Big Muskie Bucket, the largest dragline ever built. The Wall of Honor is another highlight, showcasing the names of past and present employees of Central Ohio Coal Company, which operated the Big Muskie. A picnic area and shelter as well as a scenic overlook are also found in this area
