The other Buckeye Lake in Ohio

By Paula Pyzik Scott

This week a caller tried to persuade me that the May 5 Trout Derby in Bluffton, Ohio does not take place at Buckeye Lake.

There is a somewhat better known Buckeye Lake in Licking County, where there is a village called Buckeye Lake, a reservoir called Buckeye Lake and Buckeye Lake State Park. 

I directed the caller to a popular authority, Google. Yes! It shows Bluffton's Buckeye Lake. You'll also find our petite version on www.ohiogamefishing.com , www.eBird.com , www.Mapquest.com , www.naturalatlas.com , www.fishbrain.com , etc.
