Fishing Isn’t For Rubbing Elbows
It can be difficult to get away to go fishing regularly. So when you get the chance, you want the logistics to be simple. Who has time for:
- Hiking long distances to fish
- Battling overcrowded fishing spots
- Finding the fish
- Maintaining the lake house
Go Fishing
After fishing, you should come home thinking, “That was awesome!” That’s why the Briarwood team works hard to maintain our 18 lakes, streams, and ponds stocked with 19 species of fish, along with the Kayak Shack, Fish House, and Loafing Lodge to help you unwind and enjoy unforgettable fishing with all the conveniences you want.
First, The Fish
Fish from our private waters teeming with Rainbow, Brook, Brown, Blue, and Golden Trout or our lakes stocked with Bass, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Black Crappie, Perch, Tiger Muskie and more. See all species.
Kayak Shack & Dock
Utilize the floating dock and picnic area anytime. Members can store personal kayaks and canoes year-round with an annual fee, so there’s less to haul each time. We also have jon boats available at the lodges and they come with your lodge rental.

Fish House & Loafing Lodge
Take a break from the elements and refresh inside the Loafing Lodge. Bring your fresh catch to the Fish House where you can clean your fish or have us clean/smoke it for you.
Year-Round Beauty
“Escaping the hustle and bustle of Central Ohio brings a sense of calm that we could all use from time to time. We can’t believe the experiences we’ve had and the memories we’ve made in only two years of being members at Briarwood. We are continually impressed with the beautiful grounds, which are so diligently cared for by Chris, Kristy, and the team. We always love bringing family and friends, and we’ve made plans to stay in the beautiful lodges during all four seasons. I highly recommend touring the grounds on your cross country skis. This property is spectacular!“

A Great Place To Celebrate Life Events
“My wife and I live 150 miles away from Briarwood but for many years, we’ve been coming frequently, often bringing others with us. As fishing members, we’ve benefited greatly from the access to Briarwood’s beautiful lodges where we’ve brought friends for long weekends, held work functions, celebrated wedding anniversaries, and hosted a family Christmas. Everyone loves it and wants to come back. It’s a great place to go fishing, enjoy nature, and spend quality time with friends and family. “
