Golf in Celina

Celina is the county seat of Mercer County and the principal community on Grand Lake St. Marys, Ohio's largest inland lake—a man-made reservoir created in the early nineteenth century as a feeder for the Miami and Erie Canal. The lake transforms Celina from a standard agricultural county seat into a genuine summer recreational destination, where boating, fishing, and waterfront activities draw visitors from across western Ohio and beyond. Mercer County's agricultural identity and German Catholic heritage give the community a specific cultural character, and the combination of lake amenity and county-seat services creates year-round activity.
