With help from a committed group of stakeholders, Medina County Park District established new docking rules at Chippewa Lake this year. The rollout represents a continued commitment to working with residents to maintain safe experiences on the water, for neighbors and visitors alike.
New docks and changes to preexisting docks (i.e., size, configuration) will not be permitted this year.
The following is a summary of changes made to the park district’s rules and regulations, approved by the Board of Commissioners at its March 19, 2025 public meeting. A legal notice was published in the Medina Gazette on April 4 and again April 11, and the rules are now in effect as of the end of April.
