Welcome to Briarwood, where we offer the discriminating angler a natural environment so that one can relax and get away from it all. If you enjoy fishing, hiking or just being outdoors, then you have come to the right place. With over 450 acres of land covered with numerous lakes and trout streams, Briarwood is considered to be the largest private fishing resort east of the Mississippi. What gives Briarwood its uniqueness, is we are a slice of “Wilderness” right here in central Ohio.

Our large artesian springs form the headwaters for Ohio’s only natural trout stream, the Mad River, and our lakes are the highest bodies of water between the Appalachians and the Rockies. Our overnight accommodations include three rustic lodges, each located on their own private lake, which abound with Small and Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Walleye, Perch and Tiger Musky. Our trout streams offer some of the finest fishing in the country from Brook, Brown and Rainbow trout.

Come see for yourself how our serene wilderness combined with our excellent fishing will make your visit to Briarwood a truly unique and memorable experience.
