Ranger Lake is a 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) reservoir located in Mill Stream Run Reservation off Pearl Road (off the entrance ramp to the Ohio Turnpike) in Strongsville, Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
The lake has been stocked to establish sport fishing populations of largemouth bass, bluegill, pumpkinseed sunfish, crappie, channel catfish, and rainbow trout. The lake is stocked with trout in the winter for ice fishing.
Prior to flooding the lake, the tree and brush cover along the west side of the lake was left standing to provide improved fish habitat. Fishermen will find this area productive for catching fish.
Special fishing regulations are posted at Ranger Lake for largemouth bass and rainbow trout. The minimum legal size for catching largemouth bass is 12 inches (300 mm) and the daily harvest is two bass per angler. The daily harvest for rainbow trout is three fish per angler.

Famous quotes containing the word lake:
“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
