Rend Lake facilities re-open as water returns

Rend Lake – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Rend Lake is now receiving water from the Rend Lake Conservancy District Water Plant.  All water-borne facilities at Rend Lake managed by the Corps of Engineers, such as restrooms and shower houses, are now open.  Please conserve water while the system recharges. The facilities will remain under a “Boil Water Order” until further notice. The total burn ban will remain in effect on all Rend Lake project lands until further notice. All outdoor fires, including campfires and grills, are not allowed until the burn ban is lifted.

The openings include all the restrooms and shower houses in the four Corps managed campgrounds including South Marcum, Gun Creek, North Sandusky, and South Sandusky.   Water and sewer will now be available at the dump stations, full-hookup sites, or hydrants. It is suggested that campers bring drinking water with them until the boil water order is lifted. Portable toilets and hand-washing stations will remain in the areas through the weekend in case of any water fluctuations.  Full fees will be re-instated beginning Friday, May 18, 2018.

All areas, including South Sandusky Day Use/Beach and North Marcum Day Use, planned to open on Friday, May 18, 2018, are now open.  These areas will have restrooms available. It is suggested that visitors bring drinking water with them until the boil water order is lifted.
