About Bennett's Pond State Park

Industrialist Louis D. Conley once owned the estate that now makes up this park's land. Its 56-acre namesake pond anchors miles of hiking trails through wooded terrain, and the park connects directly to Wooster Mountain State Park via the Ives Trail. Beyond hiking, visitors can fish, bike, and take part in seasonal bow hunting on the grounds.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
