I'm heading out to East Fork State Park in Bethel, OH this weekend. Does anyone have any useful suggestions for me? - snowwhite33

Here's my 2 cents: 1) the map totally blows, 2) the BP trail isn't that well marked, 3) the shelter/campsite @ 1 mile in from the parking lot on the south side of the park is way nicer than the next one about 8 miles up the trail, 4) it's a pretty easy hike and 5) several miles past campsite/shelter 1 you will come to an inlet/cove area of the lake where a creek enters into the lake. The BP trail is very hard to follow there. I wound up taking 3 different trails out from there and they all led to nothing so I just said screw it and hiked the green "Worldwalker" trail to the road and the road back to where I knew I was. Through the horse crap. Hope this helps. Not trying to discourage you; it's still worth hiking.
