Great Seal State Park is a 1,682-acre (681 ha) state park located north of Chillicothe in Ross County, Ohio. The park encompasses hilly, forested terrain in the Scioto River valley; it takes its name from the Great Seal of the State of Ohio, as its landscape inspired the seal's design. Park amenities include hiking and multi-use trails, primitive campsites, and an 18-hole disc golf course. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources maintains the park.[1]
The park includes the COVID-19 Pandemic Memorial Grove, which opened in 2021 as a memorial to both the victims and survivors of the COVID-19 pandemic. The site includes 15 trees, all native species to Ohio, and a paved walkway.[1]
