Hower Lake is a lake in Ohio, near Summit County.
Hower Lake is a small but surprisingly deep pocket beside North Reservoir. The depth map shows tightly spaced contours rather than a uniformly shallow pond. It's a place to work a compact area carefully, especially if you prefer quiet fishing to the skiing water on East Reservoir or Turkeyfoot.
Try the upper edge of the drop with a small jig for panfish, then fish slightly deeper before moving. A slowly worked soft plastic gives you a bass option along the break. The steep-sided bowl means a short cast can change your depth considerably, so pay attention to where a bite happens.
Hower lies just south of North Reservoir near State Street and Manchester Road. State Mill is a named launch on North Reservoir, but confirm the connecting passage and your boat's clearance before assuming it will get you into Hower. There is no reason to treat a lakeside home or driveway as public access.
The park map lists a 400-horsepower limit and no-wake operation for Hower. Its small size makes slow movement sensible anyway. Keep swimming plans separate: the developed public beach serving this part of the system is at Turkeyfoot, not Hower.
