About
Jackson Lake State Park Shelters consist of three picnic shelterhouses available for reservation at this scenic park in Jackson County, Ohio. These are day-use facilities designed for group gatherings, family reunions, company picnics, and special events rather than overnight camping. The park encompasses 106 acres surrounding a 242-acre lake in the Appalachian Highlands region. Visitors using the shelters can enjoy access to the park's recreational amenities including a 200-foot sandy swimming beach, three boat launch ramps, fishing throughout the lake (restricted to 10 horsepower motor limit), playground facilities, and hiking opportunities. For those seeking overnight accommodations at Jackson Lake State Park, the separate campground offers 34 electric sites with 50-amp service. The shelters themselves are day-use only and can be reserved through Reserve Ohio up to one year in advance, with a 3-day cutoff before the reservation date.
Directions
From US-35, take State Route 93 south toward Oak Hill. The park entrance is approximately 1 mile south of Oak Hill on the east side of SR-93.
