The Jefferson Lake region was once the home of Logan, the celebrated Mingo Chief whose family was massacred near here on the Ohio River at the mouth of Yellow Creek. This incident spurred Lord Dunmore's War in 1774.
In more recent times, the area has been home to the steel industry. The underlying coal fields and Ohio River access has made it a focal point for this industry in Ohio.
This State Park was developed on 962 acres in the valley of the Town Fork of Yellow Creek. Land acquisition began in 1928. The lake and other facilities were constructed by the National Park Service in cooperation with the old Ohio Division of Conservation as a project of the Civilian Conservation Corps during the depression. The dam was constructed in 1934 and the 17 acre lake was filled in 1946. In 1950 the area was turned over to the newly formed Division of Parks and Recreation.
Enjoy this quiet out of the way park. Your trip will be worth every step.
