Planning Tips

    About Maple Bay Campground

    Ohio's oldest state park remains a beloved day-use destination. Buckeye Lake first served as a feeder lake for Ohio's canal system during the early 1800s. After the canal era, the new parklands began drawing tourists from around central Ohio. During the mid-20th century, visitors flocked to the park's amusement park and dance hall, now closed. Today, the park's largest draw is the 3,100-acre lake which provides wonderful boating and fishing opportunities. A 4-mile shoreline path connects the North Shore to Lieb's Island and offers a variety of areas for fishing and relaxation. Find Buckeye Lake State Park in Ohio Trails+powered by the OuterSpatial app. The 3,100-acre Buckeye Lake is designated as an unlimited horsepower lake, but pontoons, sailboats, canoes, and rowboats are also common. Seasonal docks are available at Fairfield Beach through a lottery system. Contact the park office for more details. Local marinas offer fuel and other items for sale.
