Tar Hollow State Park, located in Laurelville, Ohio, is a picturesque destination surrounded by twisting park and forest roads that wind through deep ravines and dense woodlands. The park gets its name from the scattered shortleaf and pitch pines that were once a source of pine tar for early settlers. With its diverse forest, colorful wildflowers, and abundant wildlife, Tar Hollow State Park offers visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of southeastern Ohio.
Originally purchased for conservation purposes during the Great Depression, Tar Hollow State Park was developed from the Tar Hollow Forest-Park and is now operated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The park features a 15-acre Pine Lake, recreation facilities, and a group camp, providing opportunities for camping, fishing, hiking, and picnicking. Surrounded by the rugged foothills of the Appalachian Plateau, Tar Hollow State Park offers a tranquil escape into the wilderness that once blanketed Ohio.
