“with over 130 acres to fish & swim”

Lake Snowden is a 675 acre education and recreation park, featuring the largest of four lakes which form the Margaret Creek Conservancy District. The lake covers approximately 136 acres offering camping, boating, fishing, picnicking and swimming. The serene setting reveals natural beauty while maintaining the convenience of being just 5 miles from Athens, Ohio. The shelter houses, restroom facilities, beach, shoreline fishing holes, and fish hatchery make Lake Snowden a full-featured recreation park. Lake Snowden was built for the Margaret Creek Conservancy District in 1968 with federal funds through the Farmer’s Home Administration and the Soil Conservation Service in an effort to control flooding. It opened to the public in 1972 and in 1998, Hocking College purchased Lake Snowden from Le-Ax Water District.

Nice little park that's fairly close to the Ohio University campus in Athens. Mostly seasonal sites (very well kept though). The lake has easy access and there's a water park type area for kids to play in the lake, but it was closed for some reason when we were there. I believe most sites are just electric, but there are water spigots throughout to fill your tank if needed and a dump station that was on the other side of the park. We stayed in the Locust Grove area which was hilly with uneven sites (we changed sites because we couldn't get leveled up in our first site). Not as many trees in this section as there are in the other areas of the park. We had no problems manuevering thru the park in our 38' motorhome.
