Lakes to reopen

YOUNGSTOWN

Mill Creek MetroParks will reopen Lakes Newport and Glacier for public use Tuesday, it announced today.

Park lakes closed last summer after a finding of elevated E. coli bacteria levels in the water.

Privately owned canoes, kayaks and boats are permitted on Lake Glacier and Lake Newport. Boat rentals will be available at the Lake Glacier and Lake Newport boathouses from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Fishing is permitted at both lakes in waters south of the Lake Newport dam and between Lake Glacier and Lake Cohasset dams. Fishing also is permitted at Yellow Creek Park. Fishing licenses are required. For information, visit the boating and fishing page at www.millcreekmetroparks.org.

The boating and fishing season for Mill Creek MetroParks runs from Tuesday to Nov. 30.
