CIRCLEVILLE – Ohio DNR gave us an update today on what is going on at our local state park, Hargus Lake. If you have been to Hargus Lake the last year you would notice that the water is much lower than normal, and this is on purpose.

In 2021, ODNR reduced the water in the lake for rehabilitation and construction, of the aging dam 50 feet. Since then construction has been ongoing and we heard today that they are ahead of schedule and will be opening sooner than the fall plan.
