  East Harbor is Beautiful

  We camped at East Harbor a few years ago and can't wait to go back. The dogs enjoyed playing at the beach, and in the water. East Harbor is beautiful and one of my favorite Ohio state parks (tied with Malabar Farm!) The dogs loved the natural setting, walking the pet trail to beach, walking along the shore, and playing in the water.

  Beautiful Park

  We spent the weekend camping here with our pup. It was a fantastic experience. We took him to the beach. Dog are not permitted on the sandy beach however we sat on the shore right before the restrooms. There is a special doggy beach located at the far right of the parking lot. There are no signs. We were told by other families that had dogs. They said it was about a 15 minute walk from the parking lot. Staff members said we could take our dog swimming at kayak ramp. We attempted this however it was very difficult to get into the water. We enjoyed early morning walks throughout the park. The campground is very welcoming! We will be returning to soon.

  beautiful park, pup enjoys 'fetch' at primitive beach

  Great park overall, plenty of shaded camping spots. Supervised 6' leashed dogs/cats, limit of 2 per site. We visited primitive boater's beach area to play fetch. Cable for campsite and 50' - 75' wind-up marine rope to play fetch both very helpful items. There is a parking area and a long gravel trail, a light weight cart/wagon is helpful or just take the basics and wear walking shoes, take water, doggy life-vest. Lots of dead fish/critters to look out for! The park does NOT advertise 'dog' beach and offers limited amount of clean-up bag stations and limited garbage cans overflow. It would be ideal is there was a 'fenced off-leash' area and dog friendly bathroom. The community has a nice dog park 3 miles away "Bark until Dark".

We dug up 7 pictures of dogs at East Harbor State Park.
