Located on Ohio's northeastern shoreline, Geneva State Park reflects the character and charisma of Lake Erie. Geneva State Park exhibits graphic evidence of the dynamic effects Lake Erie has on our changing landscape. The lake has been a dominant force shaping Ohio's natural and cultural development for thousands of years.
Geneva has several areas of freshwater marsh and beautiful mature woodlots.
The middle and western beach areas contain plants that are rare in Ohio but characteristic of the Atlantic coast. Sea rocket, seaside spurge, beach pea and silverweed can be found on the Geneva beaches. Marshes located at the mouth of Cowles Creek, No Name Creek and Wheeler Creek contain swamp smartweed, leafy sedge and submerged aquatic vegetation. Among other things, students will compose pages and upload images. They will attempt to send images from a micro-projector of bacteria and phytoplankton from lake water samples.
