The 2,983-acre Lake Hope State Park is situated inside the Zaleski State Forest and is characterized by thick forests, narrow ridges, and steep canyons. As the name suggests, the park is centered around Lake Hope. Seven different hiking trails can be found throughout the park, almost all of which are of moderate difficulty due to the steep terrain. The shortest trail is 0.4 miles while the longest is 3.2 miles, and there are also eight trails in the park meant for mountain bikers. Other amenities in the park include a swimming beach and nine picnic areas.
