Explorers Are Us - Hoover Dam, near Westerville, Ohio, dams the Big Walnut Creek to create the Hoover Memorial Reservoir. This reservoir is a major water source for the city of Columbus, Ohio. It holds 20.8 billion US gallons of water and has a surface area of 3,272 acres or about five square miles. The dam was dedicated in 1955. It was named for two brothers, Charles P. Hoover and Clarence B. Hoover, to honor their careers with the City of Columbus Waterworks department.

A 1500 foot pier which was completed in 2005 and is an amazing treasure in landlocked Central Ohio. The Hoover Mudflats Boardwalk in Galena, Ohio lies on the northwestern edge of Hoover Reservoir and is a popular recreational locale for boaters, bird watchers and fishermen alike. Depending on the time of day and if the fish are biting, you'll drift through the muted exchange of fishermen preoccupied with catching a large-mouth bass or channel catfish.

Bald eagles, peregrine falcons and osprey are lake area inhabitants and can be detected with a watchful eye. The water may be mud brown in color when you first start out, but by pier's end it offers a wonderful picturesque view. If you want a place by the water with solitude, this is it.
