One of the largest lakes in Ohio at 7,850 acres of surface area, Mosquito Lake was created in 1944 when a dam was built on Mosquito Creek to control flooding and supply domestic water. The surrounding parkland boasts mature woodlands and expansive marshes, creating a wildlife sanctuary. Boating and fishing are the top outdoor activities, but the park also offers hiking, horseback riding, and snowmobiling along its trails. As the day winds down, choose from several overnight options, including a campground, group areas, or cozy yurts.
