Harrison Lake State Park is a 142acres public recreation area located 3miles southwest of Fayette, Ohio, in the United States. The park surrounds 95acres Harrison Lake, which has a maximum depth of fifteen feet near the dam and provides a habitat for bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, white crappie, and bullhead. The state park includes a 3.5miles hiking trail around the lake, swimming beach, and camping area.
Harrison Lake was created with the damming of Mill Creek, a tributary of the Tiffin River, in 1939. The property was turned over to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for development of a state park in 1950.
