Lake Isabella is a quiet 76-acre park that packs a big bite when it comes to fishing for feisty catfish.

Enjoy a 28-acre pay lake that offers fishing from the bank, dock or rental boat.

Great Parks stocks its lakes with thousands of pounds of adult fish annually. Farm-raised rainbow trout are stocked in March and October when lake waters are cooler. Channel catfish are stocked in the summer at each lake. Additional species include blue and shovelhead catfish, yellow perch, and panfish.

Electric trolling motors are permitted. Personal watercraft, such as canoes and kayaks, are not permitted on the lake. Lake Isabella also has a full-service boathouse and reservable Chart Room, Riverside Lodge, and Shady Elm Shelter for group outings. The park offers picnic areas, a playground, and access to the Little Miami River.

Lake Isabella also has a full-service boathouse located on a 28-acre pay lake that is stocked weekly (March-October) and offers fishing from the bank, dock or rental rowboat. The boathouse has an assortment of rods, reels, lures, artificial and live bait as well as plenty of seating out on the deck. You can purchase day or season passes at the boathouse. An Ohio State Fishing License is not required to fish at Lake Isabella.

Lake Isabella Campground is comprised of six primitive camping pod sites located in the beautiful, shaded grove of trees adjacent to the Little Miami River canoe/kayak launch and within walking distance to the playground and Lake Isabella boathouse. Each pod site features four picnic tables and shares a fire ring.
