Hello everybody,
I know it's been a long time since I posted here, but I was out and about today, and I noticed that the walk around the water reservoir in Marysville has a sign that indicates that no firearms are allowed. Did anybody else run into this before? I'm also not sure if that facility is a city park or something else. Any information would be helpful.
Thanks a lot,
H-Bein

Re: Marysville Reservoir
I couldn't find any indication that the US Corps of Engineers was involved in the construction or administration of the reservoir. This seems to be the usual reason that dams/reservoirs are posted.

Re: Marysville Reservoir
Thanks for the tip. I have no indication that the Army Corps of Engineers was part of building the reservoir, but I do know that the new water treatment plant was built by them. I might have to contact the city directly.OhioMoose wrote:I couldn't find any indication that the US Corps of Engineers was involved in the construction or administration of the reservoir.

Re: Marysville Reservoir
Whether the Corps of Engineers was involved in building the reservoir is really irrelevant. What matters is who currently owns/controls it. If it is controlled by the Army COE, there is usually pretty obvious signage to that effect. Without such signage, it is safe to assume that the reservoir is controlled by the city or some municipal entity and would make those rules unenforceable.haspelbein wrote:Thanks for the tip.

Re: Marysville Reservoir
I'm not sure I'm clear on how to tell who controls the lake. At the one near our house:
CoE built and maintains the dam and that area has obvious CoE signage.
The rest of the lake access areas are all Ohio State Park.
It's patrolled on the water by the Sheriffs Dept.
