What stays.
What comes next.

Watershed is concluding its lease to operate the Fellows Lake marina and Miller Park after financial losses made the recreation operation unsustainable, according to City Utilities’ September 16 announcement.

The marina and store’s season ends October 31. Trails throughout the area will remain open, with maintenance continuing through Ozark Greenways.

In that announcement, CU said it was evaluating marina and store operations for 2027. It did not name a replacement operator or detail next season’s services. Check directly about marina services before planning a visit.
