Upgraded Fishing Pier Completed at Caesar Creek Lake
WAYNESVILLE, Ohio – The all-access fishing pier at Caesar Creek Lake
has been upgraded with underwater structure and a light to attract more
fish, as well as improved security features, according to the Ohio
Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
The pier is ADA accessible and features an underwater light that
attracts baitfish, which in turn brings in larger fish. Fish attractors
(trees) were placed in the water near the pier to provide underwater
habitat and enhance angler success. The fish attractors are marked with
buoys to help anglers locate them. A new security light over the pier
improves security for evening and night fishing.
The pier is located at Caesar Creek State Park, 8570 E State Route 73, Waynesville 45068.
The project was made possible by a partnership between Whitetails
Unlimited (WTU) Caesar Creek Chapter and ODNR’s divisions of Wildlife
and Parks and Watercraft. The divisions purchased, installed, and
upgraded the pier and parking lot. Additional funding was provided by
the WTU Caesar Creek Chapter.
This project is funded in part through a gas tax on marine fuels and
the Sport Fish Restoration Act, an excise tax on fishing equipment
administered through the Division of Wildlife and U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service. For more information on the Division of Wildlife’s
