Description
Great Seal State Park is dedicated to the wilderness spirit of Ohio. The history of the Shawnee nation and Ohios early statehood is centered in these rugged hills. Challenging trails take visitors to scenic vistas of distant ridgetops and the Scioto Valley below. These very hills are depicted on the Great Seal of the State of Ohio, from which the park gets its name.Directions

(1 out of 1 members found this review useful.)I think this is a local makeout spot. Cars drove in and out all night. There is a definite glow from a nearby town. Not much space between sites and not much shade. The trails are great though.
