Pike Lake State Park is located in the midst of the wooded hills of Pike County in the southern part of the U.S. state of Ohio, near the village of Bainbridge.[2] The park contains a small lake with surrounding state forest, a campground, and cabins.[3] The site was developed by members of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and became a state park in 1949.[4]
