The history of Beaver Creek begins at the end of the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago when the prehistoric Fluted Point Culture Indians inhabited the region.
Flint knives, fluted arrowheads and pottery have been found nearby. In more recent history, the Wyandot and Mingo Indians resided here.
Followed by fur trappers and farmers that eventually built a town and Gaston's Mill in 1837. This early pioneer village has been reconstructed and is open for visitors.
Beaver Creek has a boat ramp, hiking trails and 53 non-electric
campsites that are open year-round. Beaver Creek State Park,
