Welcome to the C. J. Brown Dam and Reservoir website. The lake is located near Springfield in west central Ohio, less than a day's drive from Indianapolis, Cleveland, Louisville or Toledo (directions).
The 2,120 acre lake provides flood reduction and a whole lot more. The C. J. Brown Region offers many opportunities to enjoy wildlife or recreate in the great outdoors. The menu on the right leads to specific recreation and other lake information.
C. J. Brown exists as a cooperative management effort between the Corps of Engineers and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources - Divisions of Parks and Recreation and Natural Areas and Preserves. In addition, one private non-profit organization, Clark County Historical Society, plays an important role at the park.
