Dillon Lake

Naming of Dillon Lake followed a long standing US Army Corps of Engineers tradition of naming the lake after the closest town. Dillon was started by Moses Dillon, a Quaker from Maryland. While on his way to bring Christianity to the Indians in the early 1800s he saw the falls on the Licking River and noticed that nearby there was coal and iron ore.

A master plan provides a classification to the land and water areas at a reservoir that will dictate what type of uses can or cannot occur in a particular area.
