    Wallace Lake

    Parks | Visit | Parks | Mill Stream Run Reservation | Wallace Lake
    Soak up the sun and play in the sand at Wallace Lake Beach, located in Berea on Valley Parkway, one mile south of Bagley Road. This 17.6 acre lake was once a quarry that produced some of the finest sandstone in the world. In 1941 the site was flooded to create a lake complete with a sandy beach for summertime fun.

    The flooding joined two formerly separate stone quarries with a shallower connecting channel which provides for a diversity of fish habitat in this relatively small lake.

    Fish species of importance at Wallace Lake include largemouth bass, bluegill, white crappie, brown bullhead, carp, channel catfish and rainbow trout.
