Mosquito Creek Lake is a man-made reservoir. It is the second-largest inland lake in Ohio. [2] [5] Depth averages 8 to 15 feet (2.4 to 4.6 m) (depending on season), but the southern end towards the dam averages 20 to 25 feet (6.1 to 7.6 m). The northern end is considerably more shallow, with depths averaging only 4 to 10 feet (1.2 to 3.0 m). [2]
