BUCKEYE LAKE STATE PARK

BUCKEYE LAKE STATE PARK
A vacation resort in every sense
of the word, Buckeye Lake comes
under the jurisdiction of the Divi-
sion Of Conservation and Natural
Resources of the Department of
Agriculture. 1t is convenient to
Columbus, Newark, Lancaster,
Steubenville, and other cities.
Buckeye Lake is a man-made
lake Of more than five square
miles, created somewhat over a
hundred years ago to serve as a
reservoir for the States expand
ing canal system. 1t was devel-
oped especially to keep a uni
form water level in the old Ohio
Erie Canal which connected Lake
Erie on the north with the Ohio
River to the south.
Because of its central location
in the State and its convenience
to large numbers Of people, it is
only natural that as the canals
went out of existence Buckeye
Lake should have developed as a
Summer resort.
