Adams Lake State Park, State park in Adams County, Ohio.
Adams Lake State Park spans 95 acres, divided between 47 acres of water and surrounding land near the village of West Union.
The state acquired Adams Lake and its surrounding land in 1950 after the lake was constructed to provide drinking water for West Union.
The land contains evidence of early Native American settlements, with multiple archaeological sites from Adena and Hopewell cultures in the surrounding region.
Visitors can fish for largemouth bass and bluegill in the lake, but boats are restricted to non-powered craft or those with electric motors.
The park preserves a rare dry-prairie remnant with native species like purple coneflower, prairie dock, and blackjack oak thriving in extreme soil conditions.
