anyone ever sailed this lake, I'm curious of the bridge height that runs thru the middle of the lake
ceasars creek resevoir ohio bridge?

Never sailed there. The bridge looks high enough for a small sailboat to pass under based on the picture I found on the website. The clearance will vary with the lake level. The level was dropped several feet to facilitate construction of a marina. It is supposed to be refilling since April 26th. Given the rain in the area it might not take very long.

Thanks for the info, was planning to head over Saturday, I guess I better call first to be sure the levels are back up
I have a Mac 26D and have sailed on Caesar's Creek lake several times. I put in at the ramp off of Center Road, it is not as crowded as the main ramp off of SR 73. The bridge is high enough to sail under but the lake is surrounded by hills because it is a flooded valley, the winds die off when nearing the bridge. I "come about" before I lose headway instead of motoring under the bridge. Mostly power boats on Ceasar's because until this year there was no marina so I had to launch from trailer every time we sailed. There is no horsepower restrictions so do not be surprised at being bounced around in their wakes. The East end of the lake is wider with an island you can sail around. The West end is more narrow with lots of fingers that are fished often. The last season we sailed we had a dock at Rocky Fork Lake in Hillsborough, the Admiral preferred driving an hour to taking an hour to launch.shemandr said:
