For a public-land option, South Area 2/3 - Harrison Lake State Park sits about 30 miles northeast near Fayette. Harrison Lake State Park surrounds a 105-acre lake with wooded shoreline and a full campground managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Things to do around Sherwood
Harrison Lake is the main draw for water-based recreation in the area. All boat types are permitted on the 105-acre lake, and while there are no limits on motorized horsepower, all motor boats must operate at no-wake speed. Largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, bluegill, bullhead catfish, northern pike, and carp can be taken from Harrison Lake. Several hiking trails, totaling about 3.5 miles, give visitors a chance to explore the park's scenic lakeshore and woodlands. The park features a free 9-hole disc golf course near the North Shelterhouse, plus volleyball and basketball courts and horseshoe pits.
Sauder Village Campground forms part of the historic Sauder Village complex, which centers around a 1920s-era Main Street. It is clustered with around 40 buildings that detail life in Ohio between 1803 and 1928, accompanied by costumed staff demonstrating traditional crafts. Campers get discounted admission to the historic village museum. Kid-focused amenities include a splash pad, playground, and access to the indoor pool and hot tub at the adjacent Sauder Heritage Inn.
