Punderson State Park
5. Punderson State Park
State park 36mi from Ashtabula · 25 sites
Put your fancy pats on, because Punderson State Park is where nature gets classy. Stay in the resort manor house or family cottages, then don your best plaid cap and perfect that golf swing. Salt of the earth types can opt for the campground, which is conveniently located near an archery range and just about every type of sports court you can think of. Revel on the 600-ft long beach and swim till you drop, or hike one of the seven trails set at a moderate pace. Bird watching is an easy activity here, and with everything from blue herons to wood ducks, we suggest you cash in on your retirement fund early and kick it out here for good.

Woodcock Creek Lake
6. Woodcock Creek Lake
Park 38mi from Ashtabula · 111 sites
Daily grind got you down? Consider lifting your spirit up in the gently rolling hills and placid views of Woodcock Creek Lake. This lake is the perfect complement to the tranquil rural countryside of central Crawford County, and the park ain’t too shabby either. Recreation opportunities feature picnicking, fishing, playground fun and relaxation. A spacious campground, developed swim beach, picnic areas and a six-lane boat launch are located in the Colonel Crawford Park Area on the south shore. What’s more is this is where the locals come to fish. Trout, muskie, bass, walleye and panfish await anglers in the calm waters of the lake.

Mosquito Lake State Park
7. Mosquito Lake State Park
State park 40mi from Ashtabula · 25 sites
Whomever named Mosquito Lake Park obviously didn't understand good PR, but don't let the name discourage you. Nearly 2,500 acres of marshes and woodlands create a beautiful ambiance for your next getaway in Mother Nature. Stroll along one of two trails in the park, where robins and warblers tucked behind purple cresses and beech-maple trees may just move you to tears, or at least to write a haiku. Floating devices of just about every variety are invited to channel the 7,850 lake, and areas like a dog park means Fido is more than welcome on the scene. We doubt the mosquitos will be much of a problem, but if worse comes to worse, you can just light some of those good-smelling candles or load up on the catnip (look it up!) to fend off potential itchy bites.

Shenango River Lake
8. Shenango River Lake
Park 46mi from Ashtabula · 321 sites
You can get into all sorts of shenanigans in Shenango River Lake Park. River shenanigans are the best here, from fishing on a lazy day to kayaking on a more adventurous one, and just about every water-related thing you can imagine in between. You can also get into lots of shenanigans in the forested hills throughout the park all year-round. In the summer, wrangle yourself a horse and take a gallop along one of the many equestrian trails, or stick to your feet and explore a maze of hiking trails.When the winter winds begin to blow and a blanket of snow covers the ground, it’s time to whip out your snowshoes and cross country skis, or the horse(power) of the snow—the snowmobile. Finally, if you’re interested in history shenanigans, check out the well-preserved remains of the Erie Extension Canal, which played a major role in the economic development of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Or head over to the charming and historic Kidds Mill Covered Bridge. We aren’t kidding when we say there really are shenanigans for everybody to get into at Shenango River Lake.
