Berlin Lake

Planning a day at Berlin Lake

Nearby water includes Lake Milton (Ohio, 3 mi), Deer Creek Lake (Ohio, 8 mi) and West Branch Reservoir (Ohio, 9 mi). In all, 35 lakes in Ohio are covered here.

If the water looks like pea soup or paint, stay out and report it to the managing agency. Most Ohio day-use areas open for the summer season and close outside it. There is no water temperature sensor here, so only air conditions are shown.

Readings come from station 03090000 (Berlin Lake near Berlin Center OH). The last value stored here, 1,023.88 ft, is from 2026-09-09. The Corps of Engineers puts the top of the flood pool at 1,031.3 ft. Over the record shown on the level page the gauge has moved between 1,015.44 ft and 1,029.63 ft (low on 2026-02-12, high on 2026-04-05). The top of the dam sits at 1,044.7 ft. Water level decides what is usable on the shoreline, from beach width to ramp access.

The shoreline of Berlin Lake has 6 public recreation areas in the datasets we read. Recreation areas nearby include Bonner Road Access, Us Rt 224 East and Us Route 224 West. None is staffed by a lifeguard unless the managing agency posts one.
