East Fork State Park is 4,870-acre (1,970 ha) public recreation area located around the East Fork of the Little Miami River in Clermont County, twenty miles (32 km) southeast of central Cincinnati, Ohio, in the United States. It maintains the 33-mile "Steve Newman World-Walker" perimeter trail, camping, hiking, swimming, and boating opportunities.[2] The state park has hosted junior and collegiate rowing races, including the US Rowing Youth National Championships.[3] The park's main feature is William H. Harsha Lake, a 2,107-acre (853 ha) reservoir[4] created in 1978. The lake's large earthen dam and smaller saddle dams are operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.[5]
