WELCOME TO MIDDLEFORK RESERVOIR!!

The Middlefork Reservoir Park is a 405-acre facility which hosts a 177-acre stream and spring-fed lake. Owned by the Indiana-American Water Company, the Reservoir provides 60% of the water supply to the City of Richmond. The Parks and Recreation Department manages the recreation facilities and maintains the park grounds. In addition to fishing and boating, the park also hosts indoor and outdoor picnic areas, various active and passive play areas, hiking trails, a new dog park, and an excellent setting for enjoying an afternoon in the sun. Stop by the Service Center for a quick sandwich and cold drink! Located on Sylvan Nook Drive, the Middlefork Reservoir is undoubtedly one of Richmond's best kept secrets.
