Nice place to spend in the evening and even whole day for group of families. Just an hour drive from Columbus. Don’t forget to plan to visit the beach within few miles on the other side of the reservoir. I didn’t get chance to rent boat or jet ski, may be you can plan that as well.

Love walking the dog down there and its very pretty.The bugs are the biggest problem

Such a great place to go year round! Ive seen so many incredible wild animals here and beautiful plants. Great place to take pictures, I had some of my senior pictures taken her in the fall and it was perfect! The Buckhorn is my favorite trail here, but anywhere you wander is sure to be good!

Great place to get fresh air and social distance!

I usually just like to walk around on the black top. Too timid to walk alone anywhere else, but I enjoy the view.

Always an amazing place to go and enjoy some outdoor activities

Went here on a date the other day, great little trails to go on. We watched the sunset over the water and it was beautiful! Also have great camping sites and a little park. We have had many family events here and its always been a wonderful time. Love to walk and enjoy each others company. In the summer its a great place to swim and tan. Great place to bring friends and family. Make sure to race up Snoopys Hill!

I had a blast here today, plan on returning soon. The lake is beautiful. There are biking trails and hiking paths.

Spend a lot of time here with the kids and dog just relaxing and enjoying the outdoors

Beautiful place to walk.

Been a go tobplace for me and the kids this summer since oubluc pools didnt open.

I enjoy this park. It has a nice pathed walked path with grass on the sides so on hot days I can walk my dog on the grass and I can stay on the pavement. It has some workout equipment too along the path to use to get in shape.

I mostly come here for fishing and boat recreation. I look forward to exploring the hunting opportunities. The water is clean enough to eat from and the surrounding nature is very attractive. If youre looking for jogging trails, a quiet place to picnic or have a bbq party and a little get away from the city, this is a great place to visit.

This is a great place to walk and enjoy being outdoors!

Nice place to have a triathlon. If you want to just go for a walk its cool to walk out onto the dam

If you like fishing a family day out this is the place to go alot of space to fish and room for the kids if they get tired of fishing or just dont like to fish to run and play and it you get hungry grills to cook out on we all loved it there

CJ Brown Reservoir in Springfield is a huge park with a federal side and a stateside you can talk a motorized boat on a Stateside but you can launch a kayak or canoe or when border anywhere there is no horsepower limit on the lake there are tons of wide-open Prairie Trails and Woodland trails the great dam cuz Ill call you theres fins this historical science its very clean In some Asian place to go walk and take pictures of sunset and sunrise. Spectacular and tons of deer and other wildlife

I love taking my kids here for walks!

Nice people and alot of nature for the outdoorsy person. If your looking for a run or hike even swimming this is your place!

I love going out here, its peaceful and lots of trails. Down side, the water can really stick sometimes, however, there are plenty of places to go that is not by stinky water. Youll have a good time out here.

Lovely outdoor day!

I love how blue the water is I love bringing my son here to swim

Beautiful place to sit and have lunch.

Water smells like its had so much runoff from local farms that its a sewage plant. The place seriously smelled worse than a port a potty at a carnival in mid july

Lovely out there,been visiting since I was a child.

Nice place to walk fish or bring kids to play

I have been going here since i was a little boy now i take my kids here and its always been an amazing place to be. By your self or with ur family. I will never stop going to the Reservoir.

Always great to go on a walk

Tranquil and beautiful

Always a must see. Must go. Must hike. Must swim. Must fish. Must camp. Must boat. Its a must

Close to home place for ample fresh air and natural beauty

Really nice

I love going to this place and taking walks in the spring or summer evenings. It has a beautiful view of a lake if you walk the path on top of the reservoir in a beautiful view of the valley on the other side of you. The total length of the reservoir walk is 0.6 miles. They do have campgrounds that AR really nice very camper friendly. I do know that on summer nights they show movies in the Commons area of the campground.

The facilities are very clean and up to date. The grass areas are mowed regularly and the trails are kept clean and safe. We have found many areas to sit and enjoy the sounds and view of the water. The beach and swimming areas appeared to be well maintained as well as the camping and picnic areas. We will definitely return.

Great place to be, day or night. I love coming out here! So beautiful and peaceful.

Nice place to go for a walk / run or just to go and sightsee. Went and checked out the nature center with their displays and mounts, it was very interesting getting to see just how this reservoir was built and what purpose it serves.

Lots of walking, hiking, and biking paths. Picnic area. Bathrooms

Graduation Party in the Shelter House

How are the Fish Attractors doing, I hope they are doing well, I was part the the group called The friends of CJ Brown

Could use more signs pointing out locations

Nice place

Very nice this with my 12-year-old grandson from 2:00 in the afternoon until the sun set.

Stayed at a cabin with a special friend, best time I ever had!

Everyone just love the area we were in Meadow View they like the view of the lake my granddaughter graduation party.was a success had a great time and we had no rain!!! I would like to have a family reunion their next year. 100 percent rating .

Clean and peaceful! Lots of picnic tables with grills.

Went from the bank I took my mom. I did ok I caught 5 catfish ranging from 2-5 lbs and some bluegill 3-4. Mom caught a couple. I really want to get my boat up there and fish the channels for the bigger catfish. This is a very nice area with a camp ground and public beach. The marina has all the amenities and the boat ramps looked good.

Awesome place for walking.

Great for site seeing and relaxation

Was at grandsons had fun

Great place for a walk or run.

Fun in sun an a variety of picnic areas, beach, and marina. Fun place for fishing, picnicking, celebrating, or swimming.

Always went here as a kid. It never gets old and its great to visit

Great place to camp or fish. Has a small restraunt at the marina during the day but not on weekends.

Once again Bass fishing continues to be slow, they just dont seem to be very active. Crappie fishing continues to be terrific as long as you find what specific depth they are at. Currently they have been holding at 15 - 16 ft. and when you find them you get hit every time using the Drop Shot method with a Crappie minnow set at 18. If you get out of that 1 depth section you wont get bit, thats why I say specific depth they are at good luck and tight lines!

Great place to see wildlife and go fishing and hiking

Great place to play Wizards unite and or pokemon go

Reserved a shelter for graduation party. Clean area, clean restrooms, professional staff. Will gladly continue using their sites for events.

Its relaxing to just walk and enjoy

Beautiful place with several activities to enjoy.
