About Lake Rupert
Lake Rupert is located within the 1,298-acre Wellston Wildlife Area. This public area is in Clinton and Richland townships, Vinton County approximately one mile north of Hamden. Lake Rupert lies along OH-683, one-half mile north of the intersection with OH-93.

Lake Rupert was built in 1969 as a cooperative effort of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and the city of Wellston to provide a water supply for the city and general public recreation. In 1979, the ODNR Division of Wildlife received ownership of the area from the city. The topography includes gently rolling, reverting old fields and woodland. The lake encompasses 327 acres at normal pool with a shoreline length of nine miles. The maximum depth is 24 feet. From Lake Rupert webpage
