The reservoir serves as a vital recreational component for our community in many capacities.  Activities are enjoyed by hundreds of people on a weekly basis that include walking, running, fishing, biking, and kayaking. 
 
​We applied for and secured a grant administered by ODNR for $150,000 to improve and safeguard the reservoir and the recreational opportunities it provides.  In 2019 we accomplished the following improvements:
  • Added sections to expand our dock along with benches, railings, and a kayak launcher. 
  • City forces made a new entrance sign.
  • Built a storage building.
  • Built a picnic shelter and installed benches and a grill.
  • Installed a non-coin operated binocular viewer.
  • Re-stoned the walking trail.
  • Removed and replaced the wood posts that act as a barrier.
