Open house scheduled for Acton Lake Management Options | Environment

COLUMBUS, OH – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) will host an open house on Friday, Feb. 15 to educate lake users and community members on a proposed lake management plan for Acton Lake, which is located in Preble and Butler counties. 

After reviewing public input gathered over the past year, ODNR is considering a lake management proposal that would allow watercraft powered by more than 10 horsepower to access the lake, provided that they only operate at idle speed.

The open house will offer information about the regulatory process as well as provide lake users and area residents with an opportunity to submit written comments, ask questions and discuss lake issues with representatives from ODNR.

Public comments and recommendations, along with public safety, recreational opportunities, regional economics and environmental factors are some of the key components considered during the development of a lake management plan. The Acton Lake Management Open House is scheduled to be held from 7-8:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 15 at the Lebanon Citizens National Bank, located at 30 W. Park Place in Oxford.
