If you’re looking for an Ohio getaway on a lake, the Atwood Lake Region is the perfect place to go this summer. There are so many activities for all ages to enjoy on and around the lake.  We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite things to do at Atwood Lake to help you plan your trip!

 

1. Go Tubing or Boating at Atwood Lake

Are you craving some time on the water during the hot summer season? At Atwood Lake Boats, we have a variety of ways to enjoy a day on the water with family and friends. You can rent a tube for the day to float on the lake. Even better, upgrade to a boat rental with a tube, and have some fund riding the waves! 

Not only do we have pontoon, boat, and tube rentals, we also have aqua cycles and kayaks too! 

 

2. Walk, Hike, or Cycle the Paved Trails

Do you enjoy walking, hiking, or cycling surrounded by nature, water, and woods? Atwood Lake Park features beautiful paved trails for walking, bicycle riding, and hiking. There are a range of trails offering different lengths and challenges, so everyone from a seasoned hiker to a casual stroller can enjoy the experience. We recommend starting at the West Marina or Atwood Lake Campground. The trails include bridges and scenery to remember! There is even an observation tower you can visit with breathtaking views of the lake, park, and surrounding areas.

After your walk, hike, or cycle, come down for a refreshing dip at the lake or rent a boat at Atwood Lake Boats! 

 

3. View the Osprey Nests at East Marina

Are you a bird watcher, or do you enjoy seeing animals in their natural habitats? While you’re visiting the Atwood Lake Region, make a short stop at our East Marina to see the Osprey nests. Then grab some lunch at the Atwood Dock Marina & Grill! 

 

4. Take the Kids for a Swim at Landzedge Waterpark at Atwood Lake Park Beach

Landzedge is a great destination for families who want to spend a day at the beach on Atwood Lake. Parents can sit back and soak up the sun while the kids enjoy the inflatable, on-the-water obstacle course, sure to keep them busy for hours! Of course everyone can take a dip in the lake to cool off. There are life guards on hand, bathroom facilities, and concessions available, so you have everything you need for your day out.

5. Feed the Carp at West Marina Dockhouse or East Marina

Whether you’re five or fifty, there’s something fun about interacting with animals in their natural environment. Get a close up view of Atwood Lake’s carp at either of our Marinas. You don’t need to bring your own food! Use our quarter feeding machines to remove the hassle and give the fish proper food to eat. Don’t let your visit end there – rent a boat for the day or dine out at one of our restaurants while you’re here!
