Beaver Creek State Park, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is one of Ohio's most scenic parks. Beaver Creek State Park is nestled in the sandstone hills of eastern Ohio. The park includes Little Beaver Creek, a state and national wild and scenic river, and acres of forest wilderness. The stream banks are lined with delicate wildflowers including jewelweed, hepatica, violets and spring beauties. The valley of Little Beaver is characterized by steep walls, high rock cliffs and numerous gentle rapids. Geologically, the valley of Little Beaver is extremely unique, being the only stream valley in the United States yet described, in which evidence of all four major glaciations is found. The rich history of the area invites visitors to explore Gaston's Mill, pioneer village and abandoned canal locks. The flora of the park contains several interesting and unusual species, some of which are more commonly found in northern regions. Many types of wildlife find the park's varying habitats inviting.
