West Branch State Park offers 14 miles of hiking trails on mostly natural surfaces, including a 2. 25-mile Buckeye Spur Trail that connects to the statewide Buckeye Trail system.

The park features five boat launch ramps with varying amenities—the East and West Ramps offer paved lanes, ample parking, and lighting, while the Camp Ramp provides convenient access near the campground.

Multiple trailheads are accessible from the park office parking lot and camp overflow areas, making this an excellent access point for both hiking and water recreation on Michael J. Kirwan Reservoir.
