New Lexington Reservoir

The New Lexington Reservoir just north of the county-seat of Perry County is a long-established recreation and leisure area.


The New Lexington Reservoir was built in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps and is 36 acres in size and is accessible from a county highway. The reservoir is constantly stocked with fish, causing it to be used heavily throughout the year. However, accessibility is limited for those with disabilities.


The HEART of Appalachian Ohio project will see the development of better parking areas that are handicap accessible to accommodate visitors. Handicap accessible walkways and boat launches will also be added to make this facility more user friendly. These improvements will not just benefit all users and will attract citizens of the region and Ohio.


Additions of small pollinators areas will be added to add to the beauty of the reservoir as well as the ecological makeup of the area. These pollinator areas will be a part of the Appalachian Ohio Pollinator Trail.
