Discover Ohio’s oldest state park, a cherished day-use gem. Once a feeder lake for Ohio’s canal system in the 1800s, Buckeye Lake has been a magnet for tourists since the canal era ended in the early 1900s. In the 1940s and ‘50s, it was a hotspot for visitors with an amusement park and dance hall. Today, the park continues to enchant with boating, fishing, and hunting year-round. The 4.1-mile shoreline path provides shoreline access for anglers of all abilities, connecting North Shore to Lieb’s Island. Experience timeless outdoor joy at Buckeye Lake.
