Rocky Fork Lake in Ohio is open to boating, making it a fun location for water skiing, tubing and fishing for the bass and walleye that call the lake home. The area is also home to Rocky Fork State Park, where you can hike, camp, enjoy a picnic or a treat from the concession area before retreating to your campsite for the evening, or better yet, one of the local cabins available for rent.
Bayview Cottages are set right on Rocky Fork Lake and are fully furnished with modern kitchens and bathrooms with one cottage outfitted specially for outdoors enthusiasts. All towels, pillows and linens are supplied, and upon request, groceries can be delivered prior to your arrival. Open year round, the cottages can accommodate up to four guests and include free Wi-Fi. The Bayview Outpost carries snacks, free coffee and a multitude of fishing, boating, swimming and other sporting goods equipment. The property is also equipped to handle gatherings such as weddings, family reunions and birthdays. Nearby attractions include the Appalachia Forest Museum and Fort Hill, home to a museum and a series of Hopewell Indian mounds that are dated at more than 1,000 years old.
