There are quite a number of lakes scattered across the state of Ohio. The following list is those lakes that are maintained by the US Corp of Engineers. I have left off those so called lakes that are either flood control projects that are often dry land, or those Corp projects that have lakes that are small and/or have very little public access. The later usually have no recreational facilities because they have little to offer most lake recreationists.

Each listing is linked to a page that contains information about each lake. This includes such things as boat access points, campground information, driving directions, and general information about what fishing.
