Rocky Fork State Park is a state park located at 9800 North Shore Drive in Highland County, Ohio, United States. Rocky Fork State Park contains the 1,992-acre (8 km2) Rocky Fork Lake with 30.9 miles of shoreline. The lake was added to the state park system in 1950.

The park has several marinas, boat ramps, swimming beaches, picnic areas, hiking trails and a nature center near the campground. [2]

Within the park are located two significant archaeological sites dating from the Hopewellian period: the Rocky Fork Park Group and the Rocky Fork Park Site.[3]
