Caesar Creek Lake

Caesar Creek Lake is located in southwest Ohio, centered between Dayton, Cincinnati and Columbus. Visitors flock to Caesar Creek Lake for its great fishing, boating, visitor center and trail opportunities. The lake offers excellent boating, water skiing and canoeing, and anglers fish for crappie and trophy muskie. The shelters sit close to the visitor center's courtesy dock, allowing for easy shoreline fishing or launching a kayak, and within a short walk of the Caesar Creek Lake Visitor Center, which offers exhibits, films and information about the lake and Corps missions in the Ohio Valley. Visitors can also take advantage of the Adena Trace fitness trail, with 9 workout stations over a mile loop. Each shelter is located near the visitor center, where a 24-hour indoor heated and cooled restroom can be found. Many shelters also offer some of the largest playground areas found at Caesar Creek Lake. Each shelter offers two cooking grills, and both electric and water are provided. Caesar Creek Lake is home to many different wildflower prairies throughout the park, which offer views of native wild prairie flowers, insects and bird species. There are more than 50 miles of hiking, mountain biking, bridle and archery trails, including a 13 mile backpack trail that takes you to a scenic overlook of Horseshoe Falls. Caesar Creek Pioneer Village offers a collection of over 15 log cabins and other structures that are open during special events. The Caesar Creek Nature Center is adjacent to the Pioneer Village, and features exhibits on the area's cultural and natural history.
