Harrison Lake State Park is a 142-acre (57 ha) public recreation area located three miles (4.8 km) southwest of Fayette, Ohio, in the United States.[2] The park surrounds 95-acre (38 ha) Harrison Lake, which has a maximum depth of fifteen feet near the dam and provides a habitat for bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, white crappie, and bullhead.[3] The state park includes a 3.5-mile (5.6 km) hiking trail around the lake, swimming beach, and camping area.[2]
History
Harrison Lake was created with the damming of Mill Creek, a tributary of the Tiffin River, in 1939. The property was turned over to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for development of a state park in 1950.[2]
