Jackson Lake State Park

Jackson Lake State Park is conveniently located just off of State Route 93 approximately 2 miles West of Oak Hill Ohio. The park and lake are relatively small but does offer campsites, a small beach and a picnic shelter. There is a boat ramp and dock offering lake access for boating and fishing. There is a speed limit on the lake which makes it ideal for Kayaking, canoeing and paddleboarding. The area around the lake is fairly open and seems to be a lot of private residences which kind of takes away from the "State Park" feel.

One of the best places to take your children if they’re not experienced in fishing but have the willingness and patience to learn, below the spillway is like a cheat code for fishing for bluegill & catfish, even my wife who has little experience said she got bored because, it was to easy, folks who are looking for a great experience to meanwhile enjoying the great outdoors should check this place out you will not be disappointed.

Nice lake to visit from time to time. Fishing from the shore sometimes can be a challenge with all the growth.

Jackson Lake is so beautiful and peaceful while at the same time truck or treat was taking place every weekend in October. It was an amazing time handing out candy and decorating for the contest. If you are given the chance to go you should definitely do it.

Great quiet lake located in South Eastern Ohio...known for its Crappie and Bass however the occasional muskellunge and bowfin are landed in the boat during an outing at Jackson Lake. There's numerous stumps and lay downs throughout the lake however the best overall structure would be the Lily pad fields. Spinnerbaits and Buzzbaits along with other top water type baits are essential at this lake. 10 hp limit, but you can use and put you big motor boats on the lake but you are utilizing the TROLLING MOTOR ONLY at this point...just be careful crossing under the bridge, you just might have to remove your front seat from its position.
