Hoover Marina has achieved the prestigious Gold Tier certification from the Ohio Clean Marinas Program! This recognition, awarded by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, highlights marinas that adopt environmentally responsible practices to protect Ohio’s waterways.
The Ohio Clean Marinas Program is a proactive partnership encouraging marinas and boaters to implement innovative, sustainable solutions to maintain the cleanliness and health of Ohio’s coastal and inland waters.
Originally built in 1955 by the City of Columbus as a water supply facility, Hoover Reservoir has become a vital community resource. Jointly managed by Columbus Recreation and Parks and the Division of Water through the Columbus Department of Public Utilities, the reservoir and marina offer beautiful scenery and recreational opportunities.
If you haven’t explored Hoover Reservoir yet, it’s a must-visit destination! Whether you’re boating, fishing or enjoying the serene surroundings, it’s a perfect spot to appreciate nature and support environmentally conscious practices. See all it has to offer!
