Atwood Lake, Reservoir in Tuscarawas and Carroll Counties, Ohio.
Atwood Lake extends across 1,540 acres with 28 miles of shoreline, providing extensive water space for numerous recreational activities throughout the year.
The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District completed the Atwood Dam in 1936 for $1,403,900, later transferring it to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in 1939.
The lake holds the name of the former community of Atwood, which was purchased and submerged during the dam construction, with old rail station remnants visible in winter.
The lake features multiple boat launches, two marinas offering rental services, and contains species such as northern pike, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.
Each November, the water level decreases to 923 feet to increase flood capacity and control aquatic weed growth, revealing parts of the submerged town.
