About Acton Lake
A dam was constructed on Four Mile Creek at the Hueston Woods Park area in 1956. It impounded 590 acres of water which was named Acton Lake in honor of State Representative Cloyd B. Acton from Eaton, Ohio. Hueston Woods has an interesting history dating back to the Indian fighting days of Anthony Wayne. Mathew Hueston, an associate of Anthony Wayne, bought land in Preble and Butler counties after the Indian resistance was over. He and his ancestors preserved 200 acres of the forest lands through the years until 1940, when it was taken over by the State of Ohio. The original parcel has been increased to 3,524 acres and is now know as Hueston Woods State Park. From Acton Lake webpage
