About Great Council State Park
The Oldtown area of Xenia Township holds ground long associated with a Shawnee settlement site, giving this park its historical grounding. It protects land tied to that Native American heritage in southwestern Ohio. The park preserves this location for its cultural and historical significance rather than for recreational features like trails or lakes.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Contact the state park agency before you go.
