Route 79 Supercruise 47

THE ROUTE 79 SUPERCRUISE-SATURDAY, AUGUST 11TH, 6PM-11PM

The Supercruise through the south end of Heath and into Buckeye Lake
enters its 4th year of celebrating the American Automotive Culture. Born out
of enthusiasm for the Mopar Nationals, when event participants took to Rt. 79
at night to show off their cool cars, the Supercruise embraces all makes and
models of automobiles.
The Supercruise is a 6-mile cruise on Rt. 79 from Irvingwick Drive in
Heath, south to the KOA Kampground in Buckeye Lake. Along the way are
stops with music, food and fun. While Tri County Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram
features a huge “Mopar Only” display parking area, the cruise (and other stops)
is open to all vehicles.
Show off your car, see some great cars, and enjoy music at every stop and
so much more at the Supercruise. It’s a fun, free way to spend a hot August
evening!
Check out “Route 79 Supercruise” on Facebook for details about this
unique, free event.

48 Winterfest

Buckeye Lake Winterfest

The biggest party of the year – and it’s in January!

At Dawn on the last Saturday of January “Benny the Bass” rises from the Mag-
ical Waters of Buckeye Lake to offer his Prognostication of Spring. Hundreds
gather to see firsthand if Benny “takes the bait” and predicts an early spring or
refuses the breakfast for 6 more weeks of winter.

Regardless of Benny’s prognostication we celebrate Winterfest with fireworks
over the lake at dawn…and then it is on! Activities around the lake range from
live music to an art show at the Buckeye Lake Yacht Club, and Children’s story
time with Benny at the Buckeye Lake Library.

All around the Lake – Licking, Fairfield and Perry Counties – there is something
to do, and shuttle busses to get you there!

The fun doesn’t end on Saturday, as the Buckeye Lake Winery hosts a “Polar
Plunge” Sunday into the bone-chilling waters of the Lake to raise money for
charity!

How Monticello Gave Birth to Millersport

From 1827-1833, hundreds of men toiled to create an 80’
“deep cut” just south of Millersport to feed the canal. So
many workers were needed during those five years of digging,
digging, digging that the town of Monticello spring up around
them. Located just west of what is now Rt. 204, there were
stores, livery stables, churches, a post office and a population
of over 1500.The canal was completely finished except for
this spot, and more and more men were dispatched to get the
job done. With the canal completed the workers moved on
and those who stayed moved a short distance to the north and
founded the town of “Millers Port”. Today, nothing remains of
the boom town of Monticello, nor marks the spot.

The First Hotel at the Lake

Thomas Minthorn was an early pioneer in the Lake Region,
building a log cabin where the canal entered the reservoir (now Buck-
eye Lake). Then as now, it’s all about location, location, location: Mr.
Minthorn’s settlement became the center point of activity as a “packet
station” where horses and mules were relayed so that boats may proceed
along the canal.
Mr. Minthorn had an “outdoor hotel” with a large kettle that was
always steaming with wild turkey, venison, dumplings or green corn
that he sold to the laborers. Food and lodging (in lean-tos) was $1.06 per
week. Around 1840 Minthorn built a tavern that is the present-day site of
the V.F.W. hall. The tavern offered 10 tiny sleeping rooms by the night.
Around the turn of the century the Liebers of Newark purchased the
tavern. At the time the road (now Rt. 360) ended at the tavern. There the
Liebers rented carts to people that were now coming to the cottages that
were springing up around that side of the lake. They would load their
belongings in the cart and leave their cars parked at the Tavern.

HOW HIGH- SPEED ELECTRIC TRAINS HELPED TO BUILD

BUCKEYE LAKE INTO “THE” RESORT OF ITS TIME

The Columbus, Buckeye lake and Newark traction company built
rail lines that culminated at the North Shore of Buckeye Lake, and then
built the original “electric park” (Buckeye lake Amusement Park) to entice
passengers to get aboard.
The cars were, quiet, and could reach the unheard of speed of 75
mph! They travelled Rt. 40 and what is now Rt. 79. Before Rt. 79 became a
road you had to go from Hebron to Jacksontown, south on Rt 13 and back
west on the Lake road to get to Buckeye Lake.
The giant power plant that provided the electricity to run the inter-
urban was in Hebron across from the old municipal building and featured a
150-foot smokestack that was dropped in 1940. By then the automobile and
roads provided easy access to the Lake and all the area attractions.

A Boater’s Guide to Fun on Buckeye Lake

Just 30 miles east of Columbus Ohio, surrounded by small hamlets, rolling hills
and corn fields, is one of the most unusual boating habitats in the Midwest. Here are the
statistics;

• Built in the 1820’s from a glacial swamp
• Designed as a reservoir for the Ohio & Erie Canal system
• Designated as a public park in 1894
• Home of the Cranberry Bog State Nature Preserve
• 3,000 acre shallow canal lake
• 10,000 area residents
• 354,000 recreational visitors annually
• Unlimited horsepower
• Currently undergoing dam reconstruction. Project completion
estimate Fall 2018

While the Buckeye Lake dam is being rebuilt, the lake depth is reduced by at
least a foot, possibly more in times of drought. Boaters new to the area should log on to
the ODNR site and download a countered map of the lake showing the depths throughout
and refer to it when entering a new area. (http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Portals/9/Images/fish-
ing/Lake%20Maps/pub220.gif
Another recommended site for further boating info is www.buckeyelakeboating.com.

LAUNCHING:
There are two primary public launch ramps; at the far west end of the lake on
Lieb’s Island is Lieb’s Island State Park. There you will also find the ODNR office, re-
strooms and overnight parking. The other ramp is on the North side of the lake in the town
of Buckeye Lake. Please note that these public ramps are also dam construction staging
areas and parking is reduced by approximately half.

NO WAKE ZONES:
Buckeye Lake is highly residen-
tial. The “no wake” zones are designed to
both provide safety for residents, swim-
mers and boaters, as well as protecting
segments of the environment. There are
“no wake” zones along all of the shore-
line, at all recreational and swim areas,
and there is a “no wake” zone across the
mid-section of the lake at Cranberry Bog.
These are not a “slow” zones; these are
“no wake” zones. The lake patrol takes no
wake zones seriously.

MARINAS:

There is no shortage of Marinas for fuel, supplies and service. Traveling west to east:

• Buckeye Lake Marina, Millersport

• Fishers Marina, Lieb’s Island

• Alexander’s Landing, South Bank

• Jimmy Carter’s Marina, Next to Papa Boos restaurant

NAVIGATING:

• In general the north side of the lake is deepest.

• The south shore is a natural shoreline and can be shallow, so keep your

eyes on your depth finder.

• The far west end of the lake, north of Lieb’s Island, may have

underwater stumps left when trees were cut down when the lake was

frozen.

• From Seller’s point to the east side of Onion Island there was a

causeway so the mules could pull the barges to Millersport.

Remnants of the wall still exist between Seller’s Point and Onion Island.

It is not marked on maps and caution is encouraged during the current

low water conditions. Generally, there is minimal risk unless you were

to accelerate rapidly from a standstill over this obstruction.

• Between Buckeye Lake Yacht Club and North Shore Ramp was the site

of the famous Buckeye Lake amusement park. Use caution in this area

close to shore due to the possibility of underwater pilings left from the

amusement park days.

• The deepest area of the Lake is the no-wake area near the Bog. Snug

Harbor, immediately to south of this zone, can be quite shallow.

• The area between the Cranberry Bog and the shore is navigable. There

is also a lot of root structure in the area very close to the Bog, an attrac-

tion for fish due to the habitat it provides. Pay attention to obstruction

markers!

• The East end of the lake is shallower than the west end. Much of the

area is under 3 feet in depth.

58 Boater’s Guide to Buckeye Lake

• A Boater’s Guide to Fun on Buckeye Lake

During the late summer, east of the bog, pieces of the bog
may break loose from the bottom and rise to the surface. Be aware of
these floating obstructions.

CANALS:

There are navigable canals all around the lake, many with destinations at the

end (It is suggested to raise your outdrive or engine). Every canal is no wake. Please be

cautious and pay attention to the depth. Here are just a few:

• Millersport: there is a canal behind Buckeye Lake Marina leading

to the town of Millersport with public docking where Millersport Road

crosses over the canal. You can dock here and visit the stores and

restaurants in town. There is even a library, pharmacy and gas station.

• There is a canal on the south side of Leib’s Island. It opens to Fisher’s

Marina or follow it west to the Island House.

• Once past mid-lake there is a large bay on the north called Maple Bay.

You can navigate the bay all the way around the island of Harbor Hills,

under bridges and out to the lake again.

• Honey Creek area: There are many canals just south of the boat swim-

ming area. These are residential areas with the exception of the Copper

Penny restaurant.

• Heron Bay: You may explore the bay in your boat and check out the

homes, but there is resident docking only.

• You may exit the southeast end of the lake up a canal, and you get to

pass under bridges. The first bridge has quite a lot of headroom. There

is a bar and restaurant here called the Port Smokehouse with customer

docking. The next bridge is much more challenging and this is the end of

the lake for most boaters.

Boater’s Guide to Buckeye Lake 59

A Boater’s Guide to Fun on Buckeye Lake

DESTINATIONS:
Unlike wilderness lakes, there many fun places to go and things to do on Buckeye
Lake. There are bars and restaurants from one end of the lake to the other; many with live
entertainment throughout the week. Below are a few listed from west-to-east with custom-
er or nearby docking:

• Canal Restaurant, Millersport
• Island House, Lieb’s Island
• Buckeye Lake Yacht Club (north shore, members only)
• Buckeye Lake Winery (south shore)
• Copper Penny, (south shore)
• Papa Boo’s, (north shore)
• Captain Woody’s (north shore)
• The Port, Thornport (far east end)

SWIMMING:
There are two designated swimming areas in the lake; one on the west end at On-
ion Island and the other at the east end of the lake across from Papa Boo’s. Here you can
anchor your boat in water, 3 -5 deep, with a sandy bottom. You can also spend the night at
these anchorages. Check with the Park concerning rules & regulations on “mooring.”

PICNIC AREAS:
There are three public swimming areas with parking facilities and restrooms on
the shore of the lake accessible by car. These beaches are open from Memorial Day to
Labor Day:

• Fairfield Beach on the south side of the lake
• Brooks Park on the south side of the lake
• Crystal Beach on the north side of the lake

WATER SKIING:
The lake can be like glass early in the morning or mid week. The east end of the
lake is designated as the water ski area for good reason: this area has a natural shore line
which helps “damp out” the wave action. Skiing requires an observer in the boat besides
the driver and an approved life jacket.

IN CONCLUSION:
Buckeye Lake is a beautiful, enchanting area filled with delights for the water-
sports enthusiast. You can have a wonderful adventure here, if you just keep a few things
in mind. First, it is a State Park, so open container rules are the same as on land. And
though we have repeated warnings in this article about shallow water, watch your fellow
boaters and you will see that most of the time it is “smooth sailing” (or skiing or tubing
or…). So c’mon - join us on the water! – David Luttenberger

BUCKEYE LAKE NEEDS YOU!
Over the years Buckeye Lake and its residents have faced many challenges.

It is obvious that those that lie ahead may be even more formidable than
those previously encountered. Water quality, development, property rights
and more have the potential to become even greater areas of concern. It is
imperative that residents participate and partner in the forthcoming critical

issues that appear certain to arise.
For seventy years the BUCKEYE LAKE AREA ASSOCIATION has been the
voice of the residents who make-up the communities around Buckeye Lake.
Our long-term success has been achieved because of strong community
involvement and support. We ask that you join BLACA to help continue this

work. A nominal membership fee will aid in many ways.
