What is the closest lake to the OSU campus? Mirror lake doesnt count.

Mirror lake...makes Buckeye Lake look clean

Lake? If you count "reservoirs" the closest is Griggs. Take Lane until it dead ends into 33, make a right, about a mile down on your left.

As for true lakes (Griggs is a dammed stretch of the Scioto River), prolly Hoover or Alum would be the next closest. Griggs is within a few miles of campus...as close as you'll get.

Try ther Olentangy River, that runs right through the university.

Antrim Lake is just north of campus on 315. I attend osu and fish it often when i only have a couple hours to get out. Only down side is the large crowds on nice days and their dogs!!! They stock it with trout and I have caught quite a few bass from there. Hope that helps some.
