Sally Buffalo Park
Sally Buffalo Park is a full service metro park located within the Village of Cadiz corporation limit and offering: RV and Tent Camping, rental cabins, fishing, swimming, picnic shelters, Party Barn, and Wallace Lodge Banquet Hall.
The park is located off State Route
9 in Cadiz, Ohio on land that was once a vibrant working plantation
of the early 1800s.
The neighboring hillsides were surface mined for coal in the1950s,
nearly a century after the plantation ceased operation.
Hanna Coal Company built the existing dam in 1953 to reclaim
the land and develop it into a park, initially to provide their
employees with a place to camp for free.
The park was named and opened to the public in 1965.
Hanna Coal was purchased by Consol, Inc. in the 1970s, and the park
changed ownership
several times until The Village of Cadiz
purchased it in 1990.
A Park Board was created in1992 and now jointly governs Sally
Buffalo Park with the Village of Cadiz.
The park has steadily
developed into a source of great pride for the Village and
surrounding area. It
provides many amenities that make even a small family picnic a truly
memorable experience. |
BUCKEYE TRAIL For
nearly 1435 miles, the Buckeye Trail winds around Ohio, reaching
into every corner of the state. Marked with "blue blazes" the
trail is divided into sections named after a town in the section.
The Bowerston section travels through Harrison County. Much of
this section follows county and township roads but Muskingum
Watershed Conservancy District properties provide many miles of
off-road experience. The trail skirts Leesville Lake, passes
through the town of Bowerston, and follows the shorelines of Tappan,
Clendening, and Piedmont Lakes. After passing through the
small town of Smyrna, the trail continues along a very scenic
township road and over a covered bridge at Skull Fork (38% off-road
trail). |
