Do you have a question about Barnesville Lake, ask it here.
The land and water area is owned and managed by the village of Barnesville for recreational purposes. The topography includes wooded hills and open park land. Included in the park are hiking trails, picnic areas, and a variety of recreational facilities. The lake encompasses 14.2 acres at normal pool with a shoreline length of 1.1 miles. The maximum depth is 24 feet.
Barnesville Lake has populations of largemouth bass, channel catfish, and bluegill. The ODNR Division of Wildlife stocks channel catfish yearlings in alternate years.
Better largemouth bass fishing can be found in the spring and fall. As springtime water temperatures warm up, bass will move into shallow water areas to feed and to prepare for spawning.
Fish near shallow structure such as tree stumps, fallen trees, or weed bed edges. Spinnerbaits, rubber worms, crankbaits, and jig/pig combinations work well. Warm summer water temperatures will usually push fish into deeper depths. Fishing during the early morning hours or in the evening will provide better results.
Cooler, fall temperatures will trigger bass to move back in the shallow water areas. Fishing success may pick up as bass prepare for winter.
Bluegill can be caught throughout the lake from early spring until fall. Popular methods include waxworms or redworms fished below a bobber.
Look for spawning beds in shallow water during the spring and throughout the summer. Many bluegill can be found concentrated in these areas.
Channel catfish angling picks up by mid-June. Nightcrawlers, chicken livers, or prepared catfish baits work well when fished on the bottom. Night fishing for catfish is a popular method for catfish anglers.
Designated picnicking and hiking areas are located off the Fair Street entrance. A variety of recreational facilities are located within the park. Motors (including electric) are not permitted.
A small, gravel boat ramp is located on the north side of the lake.
Barnesville Lake is located in Warren Township, Belmont County. This public lake is within the village of Barnesville's Memorial Park. Barnesville Lake is accessible off Fair Street via North Chestnut Street and State Route 800.
