Located in Lloydsville, Belmont County, Barkcamp State Park provides a boat ramp for accessing Upper McMahon Creek. The park features a developed launch facility along with parking, restrooms, and amenities typical of Ohio state park recreation areas. This access point serves kayakers, canoeists, and motorboaters looking to explore the creek system in the region.
The park itself offers a full range of recreational facilities including camping (with water and electrical hookups available), picnic areas, hiking trails, and a beach area. Seasonal boat tie-ups are available for those planning extended visits. The area's history centers on Barkcamp Creek, which historically flowed through the region before the dam was completed in 1963. Visitors should plan accordingly for water conditions and check current park conditions before launching, as water levels and flow characteristics may be affected by the dam structure.
