J. Edward Roush Lake

In Huntington, Indiana, there is a reservoir called J. Edward Roush Lake. The lake is located at a 748-foot elevation (228 m). To recognize J. Edward Roush's contribution to the community as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, State Representative, and State Senator for Indiana, the Huntington Reservoir was renamed J. Edward Roush Lake. In 1968, the J. Edward Roush Lake Dam was finished for flood control and recreational purposes. Its greatest capacity is 153,100 acre-feet (0.1888 km3), while its average capacity is 12,500 acre-feet. It is 91 feet (28 m) high and 6,500 feet (2,000 m).

Along with seven other lakes in the state, including Salamonie and Mississinewa lakes, which are close by, the public land at Roush Lake is managed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The latter two are referred to as the Upper Wabash Reservoirs, together with Roush. The DNR manages and operates the recreational amenities and wildlife areas at these lands under a lease with the Corps. The immediate vicinity of the dams' recreational facilities and certain dams are managed by the Corps. Lake water levels are also monitored and managed by the Corps.

Boating, camping, fishing, hunting, picnics, and water sports are permitted activities at the lake.
