Geist is owned by the Consolidated City of Indianapolis, the Ramp is owned by a private corperation named Marina Unlimited Parternship. These facts were obtained by searching the property reports on the Hamilton County web site. Another fact is the Town of Fishers annexed the ground below the water in the Hamilton County section.
The owner of MUP is/was a major stock holder of the old Indianapolis Water Company, that ran the water company for the City of Indianapolis.
As for the cost of using the ramp, it is the same as last year, 12 bucks on the weekday and 28 on the weekends. I was out there last Friday and Saturday, I paid $12.00 each day. Still cheaper than driving to Monroe. By the way, I am looking at my receip from last weekend, thats why I sure of the fees for this year.
As for private or public water, Fall Creek flows into Geist, that makes the water public and gives the DNR right to patrol and enforce the rules. Even if the land around the lake is privately owned.
Not to disagree with any of the before post, these are the facts that I can back up.
By the way, the bite was slow, but I did catch a few. There was no tournament on Saturday, Just a bunch of us treating CABIN FEVER.
