Mosquito State Park
- Jun–Sep
- best months
Mosquito State Park is a river fishing destination in Ohio, about a tenth of a mile from the town of Mecca. The land is managed by the Army Corps of Engineers, and the park sits right beside Mosquito Creek Lake, which makes it an easy base for anglers. Late spring and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Mosquito Creek Lake put May highs around 71°F and September highs around 75°F, with September seeing the fewest wet days of the year. Fishing here is not reserved, so you don't need to book a spot in advance. The closest neighbors are the town of Mecca and the surrounding water of Mosquito Creek Lake.
