Mosquito Lake is a beautiful state park full of all kinds of activities, And naturalist Jason Lee says there’s a little bit of something for everyone.

“I think when you look at this park, some parks have their like niche and then they only have that to offer. They have amazing trails or maybe they have amazing programs. Some parks maybe are really close to the city. I think where we’re located in Ohio, we offer a little bit for everyone.

It’s also based on the type of trees. And I think that’s one thing that makes Mosquito Lake a nice place to watch. This is because we do have a variety of trees around the lake. We’ve got our maples, the oaks, the black, you know, black cherry. So we’ve got a variety of around the lake,” Lee said.
