BERLIN LAKE, Deerfield, Ohio – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District is informing campers, fishermen and boaters that the Mill Creek Recreational Area campground and boat ramp will re-open Friday, June 29, at 8 a.m.

 

The campground closed to update the sewer system with a new pump station, dumping station and other components.

 

The updated components will improve the reliability and effectiveness of the system and provide a more convenient dumping station for visitors.

 

"We want to thank the public for their patience as we made these improvements,” said Chuck Opet, Berlin Lake resource manager. “We look forward to providing a quality experience for our visitors.” 

 

Space is available in the campground as the July 4th weekend approaches. Those interested in camping at Mill Creek can reserve a site at www.recreation.gov
