Harrison Lake covers 95 acres (38 ha). It was artificially created with the damming of Mill Creek, a tributary to the Tiffin River, in 1939. The maximum depth is over fifteen feet near the dam. Fish include bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, white crappie and bullhead.[5]
A 4-H camp located by the lake offers access to the water for its campers.[6]
