Let's play an Ohio trivia game (Columbus, Cleveland: work, company, move)

what is the largest inland body of water in the state of ohio?

[rrtechno]

I believe it is Grand Lake St.Marys in Mercer and Auglaize Counties. I know that is the largest man-made body of water in Ohio, built as a reservoir for the canals. I lived along the feeder canal just south of St. Marys for about a year back in the mid 70s.

it might be? i read years ago the portage lakes, a group of lakes inter connected by channels as a water supply for the ohio canal were the largest inland body of water.... but i cant back it up....ill surf and see what i can find out

[htlong]

from the book portage lakles then and now i found these stats
portage lakes is ohios most used waterway for recreational water sports. the state park has 1000 acres of land and 2520 acres of water,38 miles of shoreway. (once again i thought i read once p.l. had 125 miles of shoreways?)

This is all lakes combined so i think that for a single body of inland water it would be grand lake in st. marys.

A major treaty was signed here in 1795 that opened up much of Ohio for settlement.

I wasn't able to read any of the details because of a really bad phone connection. The titles said Greenville, Ohio. It also looked like General "Mad Anthony" Wayne may have been involved in the signing too. Once this phone is fixed, I'll read the whole article.
