West Branch State Park
- Jun–Oct
- best months
West Branch State Park is a fishing destination in Ohio, managed by the Army Corps of Engineers and located about 1.6 miles from the community of Bloody Corners. It is a lake fishing spot, and there is no trail to plan around here. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Ravenna show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 74°F, with July peaking near 85°F. Several short hikes sit within about a mile, including Jay Lake Trail and Deer Run Trail. Paddlers can head to the Mahoning River, roughly 7 miles away, or the West Branch Mahoning River, about 8 miles off.
