History

Lake Loramie was named after French-Canadian trader Pierre-Louis de Lorimier (Anglicized to Peter Loramie), who established a trading post at the mouth of Loramie Creek in 1769. Lake Loramie was constructed in 1844–45 as a storage reservoir supplying water to the Miami-Erie Canal system. In 1949, Lake Loramie was turned over the Division of Parks and Recreation of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.[4]

Recreation

The park offers fishing, boating, camping, and cabins. Crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, bullheads, carp, and largemouth bass can be found in the lake.[4]
