A Technical-Economic Evaluation of a Potential Recreation Development in Monroe County, Ohio
It is recommended that one of the three Sunfish Creek sites mentioned in the results of Phase I be chosen for a recreation lake in Monroe County. The development of the area should begin as soon as possible. It is recommended that the developed area be centered around a specific theme involving the 'Switzerland of Ohio' and a unique narrow gauge railroad. Specific recommendations include parking cars at a rail head and commuting to and from the recreation use areas. A resort area should be developed. This would include a rustic lodge and cabins designed to accommodate 3,500 vacationing families (for one week or more per family) with added facilities for a maximum of 30,000 weekend visitors per season. Buildings should have a Swiss or Tyrolian design. The construction of recreation facilities such as tennis courts, driving ranges, a golf course, boat docking, boat rental areas, a beach, nature center and/or a museum, camping sites, picnic areas, archery or rifle range, a children's area or other similar structures should be built to entertain and provide relaxation for the vacationing families in the area. Besides providing a recreational experience, these facilities would represent a substantial source of income to the eventual developers. (Author)
