LeSourdsville Lake Amusement Park

Nestled along the scenic waters of its namesake lake in southwest Ohio, LeSourdsville Lake Amusement Park was a quintessential traditional trolley-style park that exuded mid-century nostalgia. Visitors were greeted by a relaxed, picnic-friendly atmosphere where families gathered under mature shade trees between rides on classic attractions like the legendary Screechin’ Eagle wooden roller coaster. The park’s lakeside setting lent it a distinct, breezy charm, offering a picturesque backdrop for a timeless collection of vintage flat rides, a miniature train, and a beloved log flume. For generations of Midwesterners, a trip to LeSourdsville Lake was defined by this unpretentious, community-centric warmth, making it a treasured chapter in Ohio’s amusement park history.
