Located southeast of the city of Findlay in Hancock County, Ohio, Findlay Reservoir is actually comprised of two connected upground reservoirs. Findlay Reservoir #1, built in 1950, covers 186 acres with a capacity of 1.4 billion gallons, while Findlay Reservoir #2, constructed in 1968, spans 645 acres with approximately 5 billion gallons capacity, making it the largest upground reservoir in Ohio. Both reservoirs are relatively flat-bottomed with depths ranging from 16-33 feet and an average depth of 24 feet. The reservoirs feature limestone riprap along the inside of their earthen dikes to protect from wind and wave damage. These reservoirs serve as municipal water supplies for Findlay and are open to public fishing through a cooperative agreement between the city and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife.
