Berlin Lake is renowned for its excellent walleye fishing and is one of the few area lakes where natural reproduction of the species occurs; anglers will also find largemouth and smallmouth bass, muskie, crappie and bluegill. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources manages over 6,800 acres of project lands for public hunting and wildlife management, small game species are found in abundance, and hunting areas can be easily accessed nearby. Berlin Lake is situated on the Mahoning River, where it covers 3,590 acres and offers 70 miles of shoreline. The banks of the lake are gently to moderately sloped, allowing for easy access. Beech and maple trees cover the area, offering shade and beautiful fall color, and visitors delight in viewing nesting ospreys. Bald eagles can occasionally be seen in the area as well. Noah's Lost Ark Animal Sanctuary is just one mile south, home to a large variety of big and small cats, including lions, tigers, cougars, leopards, bobcats and lynx, as well as wolves, coyotes, fox, bears, camels, zebras and primates. Children love the sanctuary's petting zoo and educational tours.
