This park is located in the Appalachian foothills near the banks of the Ohio River and is surrounded by state forest. Dogs are allowed at this park including on the miles of hiking trails in the state forest and in the campgrounds. While dogs are not permitted on the designated swim beach, they can go into the water outside of the swim beach area. Pets must be leashed, cleaned up after and are not allowed inside any buildings. The adjacent state forest permits hunting.
