Recreational Facilities Underway Aid Boaters
Three water connected recreation projects in The Messenger area near Burr Oak Lake and the Hocking River are nearing public opening this summer. The Oak No 1 marina will offer boat and trailer parking, two concessions, a service center, and an electric boat dumper, with completing plumbing and safety checks. A park area with a launching ramp and restrooms along Route 50 awaits a firm base for the blacktop lot, with June opening hoped pending dry weather. A third project at Reedsville, a park with restrooms and an enclosed observation platform, will allow spectators to watch boats pass through the locks and dam, subject to final minor work and US Corps of Engineers approval.

Delta Queen to retire from river service in 1970
The Delta Queen steamboat faces retirement after the Safety at Sea Law of 1968 requires all overnight passenger craft to be all steel. Washington granted a temporary reprieve, but the Queen’s wood superstructure and costs to replace her are prohibitive. A replacement would cost over 10 million dollars, delaying plans for a new steel vessel. The Queen will run short excursions this year, with longer cruises planned next season if possible.
