Lovely area and great place to backpack. Lovely lake views along the Lakeshore trail.. The upper section of the backpack trail is very muddy and overgrown.

Nice experience kayaking. The staff was very helpful. There was also a really nice nature trail near the parking.

The restrooms are not open and it looked like the recreation area was closed off when we drove through on Thursday. But you could still walk around or take your own kayak/boat out. Hope that helps!

The official beach is closed, but I've seen people swimming from various locations along the lakeside path. There are no lifeguards.

Is there a place for dogs to swim on lake Vesuvius or on lake Logan? I was planning a trip and wondered. Thank you

I'm not sure, there is a beach area. I assume they are not allowed there. There are several 'swimmin holes' that people use around the lake that a dog could swim in. This is for Vesuvius.

Is there a great Slow river raft ride place in Ohio? Thinking of what to do with a group of 25. In Ohio, that's reasonably priced and legal? Hem mining? Gold prospecting?

Jayson “Jayballsoffire” Cook | Dec 3, 2019

There are site with electric and water. There are great restroom and showers as well. I do believe they have primitive campsites but that entire area is labeled as such, while the test of the campground has the amenities.

Tawn Anderson | Dec 3, 2019

There is a store just before the entrance that sells fireworks if you go on down the road towards Ohio River there is a place on the left and the right side just before you get to Dollar General and they sell firewood it's really pretty reasonable
