MWCD Docking
A Docking decal is required for any boat docked overnight on an MWCD Lake.
A “No-fee” docking decal will again be available for canoes, kayaks, pedal boats, and other non-motorized watercraft under 15′ in length. To receive a “No-fee” decal for a sailboat or rowboat 15′ or less in length, the registration must designate the type of propulsion as sail or hand-powered.
Early season decal pricing is in effect through May. A fee increase of $30 each for docking decals purchased after June 1st will continue for the current boating season.

Law enforcement activities around MWCD lakes consist of cooperative efforts by the county sheriff, MWCD ranger staff, and Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) wildlife and watercraft officers that enforce laws and regulations of the state as well as MWCD Rules and Regulations. MWCD offers a call line that is designed to address situations that require Ranger intervention, such as disturbances, suspicious activity, or issues related to park regulations. The calls will be answered by a call center and dispatched to a Ranger who will return the call as soon as possible. While the Rangers are ready to assist with these matters, it is crucial that the public continue to dial 911 for all emergencies. The call center number is 844-692-3529 (844-MWCD-LAW)
Boat Registration & Titling Information is available on the ODNR Ohio Watercraft website.
