What to fish for...

Located 10 miles west of Youngstown Ohio, Lake Milton is a 1,700-acre lake offering area residents a great getaway for boating and fishing. Over 22 miles of shoreline, much of which is lined with boat docks and brush piles, are the feeding grounds for many of the fish species here. Where these areas drop to deeper water are good choices for ice fishing in search of walleye, yellow perch, musky and northern pike. A marina, several boat ramps, parking areas, restrooms and fishing access points are located around the lake for public use. Whether you like to fish from the bank, make casts from a boat, or troll with deep-diving lures, Lake Milton provides plenty of opportunity to catch bass, walleye, perch, muskie, crappie, white bass and catfish. Pleasure boats, kayaks, canoes, pontoon boats and all types of fishing boats are welcome as boating is permitted with no horsepower restrictions. Camping and lodging are available nearby.
