Atwood Lake is a reservoir located in Tuscarawas and Carroll counties in east central Ohio.

The MWCD continues to be responsible for the management of much of the reservoir areas behind the dam, serving as a partner to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood reduction.

In addition to operating a number of recreation facilities, the MWCD cooperates with the Ohio Division of Wildlife for fishing and hunting management.

During times of excessive rain and snow melt, the corps of engineers can impound more water, up to a maximum possible level of 941 feet (287 m) with 2,460 acres (10.0 km2).
