Hueston Woods State Park is a 3,000-acre park in Ohio’s Butler and Preble counties. The park surrounds scenic 625-acre Acton Lake and is a popular destination for hiking, canoeing, fishing, and fossil-hunting, an activity unique for this park. The protected 200-acre old growth forest is all that is left of the once vast forests in this area that were cleared by early settlers. It offers visitors and hikers a glimpse into the primeval forests that covered the entire Ohio once. Ancient beech and sugar maple trees offer dense shade and create the perfect environment for lush ferns, wildflowers, and other woodland species. The park also has the 18-hole, 7,005-yard, par 72 golf course about eight miles from the park entrance. There is a 1,500-foot swimming beach on the shore of the lake, with a bathhouse and a concession stand. Boaters have easy access to the lake through numerous launch ramps and docks. Anglers come for a healthy population of largemouth bass, channel catfish, crappie, and bluegill.
