Geist and Morse are owned by the water company which leases the ramp to the marina. They are semi-private lake and are managed by IDNR, the town police patrols them along with the DNR, the resident gets to launch their boat for free. They set the price so high on the weekend to keep the number of non-resident boaters down. They're the only lakes within the Indy metro area large enough for pleasure boating. Therefore, on the weekend it's nutkingfut anyway despite the outrageous ramp fee.
