Lake Loramie State Park is a public recreation area located on the northeast side of Fort Loramie, Ohio. It occupies 407 acres (165 ha) on 1,655-acre (670 ha) Lake Loramie and is operated by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

History

Lake Loramie was named after French-Canadian trader Pierre-Louis de Lorimier (Anglicized to Peter Loramie), who established a trading post at the mouth of Loramie Creek in 1769. Lake Loramie was constructed in 1844–45 as a storage reservoir supplying water to the Miami-Erie Canal system. In 1949, Lake Loramie was turned over the Division of Parks and Recreation of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Recreation

The park offers fishing, boating, camping, and cabins. Crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, bullheads, carp, and largemouth bass can be found in the lake.
