Piedmont Lake is a fishing lake in Ohio, about a mile from the town of Loghaven. It is managed jointly by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, and the route to it is rated moderate. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Barnesville put July highs around 83°F with lows near 63°F, and September still runs in the mid-70s by day. That station sits about 380 feet lower than the lake, so temperatures on the water run a little cooler. Stillwater Creek, a canoeing spot, lies about 6 miles away.
