If you're not local, you may not know that Lake Snowden was sold to Hocking College a few years ago. Now, after the college spent a bunch of money to fix up the campgrounds, new boat ramp, and the roads, they found out they are 'losing money' on the place and want to sell itoffto a private developer. Area residents, esp. those who lost their family farms when the lake was built for flood control back in the 60's are outraged.
The developer is promising to keep camping and fishing opportunities ofpen for the public - well, at least for now until they ram this sale through.
