The above is a picture of the marina taken Thursday, June 25th, by boss, Bryce Steiner, with his drone.
Police Chief Clemens took us all around through the marina and the island. It has been about 80 years since I waded, fished and spent many fine days in our fine park and on the river bank. Now I wasn’t alone, a lot of boys from the east end fished down there.
Basically, the area is still the same, but different also. I was amazed at the amount of work the A.C.D.C. volunteers have done and what they still have in mind. They have plenty of room for parking, a fine lawn like a picnic table and a grill. It is a fine area. That whole area in the summer, when the water level is down, a child could wade across the river and not get his knees wet. We done that for years.
As a marina, we are on the state park map of the Toledo to the state line map. The one sign says it is 90 miles to Toledo. After you put your boat, kayak or canoe in the water there is plenty of room to park or turn around, even with a trailer.
You can tell I am very proud of that whole area: park, marina and the island. I am pleased to see people using the Maumee River and the marina area.
To see the boss’s video of the Maumee area, go to youtube at anytime and type in: Maumee River June 2020. The video last a little over 3 minutes.
I guarantee that you will be pleased.
See ya!
