Lake Is Planned
On Mud Creek

Columbus, Ohio = Defiance
countians and sportsmen in north
western Ohio in general will be
happy to know that their dreams
of a lake in that county are in
the development stage.
The Ohio Wildlife Council at
their monthly meeting last week
approved the construction Of d
SO acre upground reservoir on
Mud Creek, located in the central
section Of the county.
To be constructed on a natural
ox-bow in the creek, the lake will
cover a considerable section of
the proposed lake-bed of the long
sought Defiance lake.
Engineering surveys found the
old proposed Defiance lake to be
bad risk, due to excessive sill
tation and many other problems
and recommended its abandon
ment. However, they found that
by impounding the 36-acre tract
in the natural oXboW favorable
and recommended the upground
reservoir.

EIGHT PARKS OPENED TO TENT
AND TRAILER PARKING june Il;
OTTAWA COUNTY AREAS EXCL LuDED

Eight of Ohio's state park and
lake areas have been re-opened
to organized group tent and sleep
ing trailer camping following a
temporary closed period which be-
came effective April 18th in order
that the State Dept. of Health
could inspect the areas from the
standpoint of water supply and
sanitation facilities. "Organized
group camping means groups such
as Boy Scouts and All Clubs,
said Arthur E. Day, superintendent
of the Parks Management Section.
East Harbor and Catawba parks
are not included, however.
The eight areas now open to
organized camping include: Pyman-
tuning in Ashtabula county; Lake
Hope, Vinton county; Hooking
State Park, Hooking county; Tar
Hollow, Ross and Hooking coun-
ties; Mohican, Ashland county;
Harrison Lake, Fulton county; Jef-
ierson Lake; Jefferson County; and
John Bryan Park, Greene County.
While these areas are now open
for organized group camping they
will not be opened until June 1st
for individual or family type tent
or sleeping trailer camping, Mr..
Day said.
The eight areas have been in
spected by the Department of
Health and approved for organized
camping under proper adult lea
dership. Permits for camping must
first be obtained from the resi-
dent park manager. But June LIST,
Mr.. Day said, sanitary facilities in
the eight areas will have been
brought up to standards set by
the Dept of Health so that family
or unit camping in tents or sleep.
ing trailers will be permitted.
A previous rule made by the
Division of Parks that no tent OF
sleeping trailer camping would be
permitted on state areas of less
than one hundred acres will not
be rescinded because those areas
have been declared entirely toe
small for that purpose and are
primarily daytime picnic sites.
Meanwhile, other state parks
which have been closed to camping
will be brought up to satisfactory
standards as rapidly as possible
