Clendening Lake is a man-made lake located in Harrison County, Ohio, in the United States of America. It is part of the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, which was created in 1933 to control flooding in the state of Ohio, primarily due to the flood of 1913. It is known as the largest undeveloped lake in the state of Ohio, yet has on its shores: Clendening Marina in Freeport, Ohio and the YMCA's Camp Tippecanoe near the town of Tippecanoe, Ohio, along with a campground, playground, and picnic area. Locals to the area have said that there are still buildings under the lake's waters from a former community that existed prior to the area's flooding to create the lake.
