Answers
Using the Buckeye lakes list, in short answers

Which inland Ohio lake listed here is the biggest?
Pymatuning Lake, about 16,254 acres by its ODNR Division of Wildlife outline.
Where do the strip-mine ponds and small lakes go?
132 more ODNR-mapped lakes and ponds have too few published facts for a page; each county page lists them with acreage.
What data stands behind these Ohio lake pages?
ODNR Division of Wildlife lake outlines, horsepower limits, fish hot spots and attractors, the ODNR boat launch inventory, ODNR stocking records, USGS gauges and the 2026-27 booklet.
How many lakes have fish attractors mapped?
54 of the listed lakes have ODNR attractor sites, the posts, brush and pallet structures ODNR places for fish.
Is Lake Erie part of this list?
No. Lake Erie, its Western and Central basins, Sandusky Bay and Maumee Bay each have their own pages.
A lake name shows with no link; what gives?
Lake pages are released a group at a time; each link turns on the day its page goes live.
Do the Ohio lake pages print depths?
No. The ODNR layers used here carry no depth figures, so none are printed.
