About Ryerson Station State Park

Set in Greene County close to the West Virginia border, this state park covers about 1,164 acres. Visitors can use its swimming pool, campground, trails, and fishing spots, and can picnic or enjoy winter recreation. The park also runs educational programs from late spring through early autumn for all ages and school groups. A former artificial lake on the property was drained in 2005 after concerns about its dam. Officials are now working through a public process to decide which features can be restored for outdoor recreation.
