Did you know that Buckeye Lake was the first large reservoir built in America and became Ohios first State Park in May of 1949? The 3,000 + acre lake was built near the highest point of elevation separating the Scioto and Muskingum River watersheds, it was built solely to provide water for the canal system. Perhaps you took a ride on the largest wooden frame roller coaster that took thrill seekers out over the water or rode riders such as The Dip or The Wild Mouse. Thousands from all over the state flocked to the Buckeye Lake Amusement Park to visit one of the largest amusement attractions in Central Ohio.
