Park Board backs turning Little Beaver Park over to state
Raleigh County Park Board endorsed giving Little Beaver Park to the State Department of Natural Resources to manage with Grandview State Park. Pollution reports declared Fitzpatrick Lake polluted and water condemned for public use, prompting the push to state ownership for improved facilities. The court noted lack of funds for required filtration and potential legal steps, including a token $1 payment, while the county still holds title to the 370.60 acre area surrounding the dam.
