Kokosing Wildlife Area
The 1,323-acre Knox County wildlife area is northwest of Fredericktown and five miles northeast of Chesterville. The public land surrounding Kokosing Lake is managed by the Ohio Division of Wildlife specifically for wildlife and recreation.

A large woodlot consisting mainly of pin oak and hickory is on the south end of the lake. The area provides limited camping facilities in the southwest corner of the area north of county Road 6. Habitat development includes the planting of grasses and food plots as well as cutting trees in fencerows to improve brushy areas.

The best access to Kokosing Wildlife Area is from state Routes 13 and 546. Interstate 71 also runs just north of this wildlife area.

For additional information on the whitetail management and archery hunting opportunities in this central Ohio region, contact the ODOW's Wildlife District One office, 1500 Dublin Road, Columbus OH 43215; or call (614) 644-3925.
