Situated along the historic Maumee State Scenic River, Mary Jane Thurston State Park's 105 acres offer a variety of day-use and overnight activities. The Maumee River provides some of the best stream fishing in Ohio. Boaters have access to the river while history buffs can explore the remnants of the old canal.

The park's cozy family campground offers electric sites where family, friends, and pets can camp under the stars. Primitive sites for tents (carry in equipment) are available for those who prefer a rugged camping experience. Paddling, hiking, and picnicking are other fun activities available here.
