LAKESIDE MARBLEHEAD, Ohio – The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) joined Ohio Governor Mike DeWine to dedicate a new fish cleaning station at the Mazurik Fishing Access in Lakeside Marblehead on Wednesday. The new facility was installed and is managed by the ODNR Division of Wildlife to serve the thousands of anglers who catch walleye, yellow perch, bass, and more off the coast of Lake Erie.
“People from around the world come to Lake Erie to fish and enjoy the great outdoors,” Gov. DeWine said. “This new cleaning station is just another example of why Ohio has earned its reputation as the Walleye Capital of the World and a premier destination for anglers.”
The cleaning station at the ODNR Division of Wildlife Mazurik Fishing Access provides ample counter space for anglers to cut and filet their fish, running water to clean their catch, and a grinder that disposes of the remains.
The Mazurik fish cleaning station is one of three new stations placed along Lake Erie. The other two cleaning stations are at Huron and Avon Lake.
“At ODNR, we’re constantly thinking of ways to improve the experience for anglers,” ODNR Director Mary Mertz said. “I hope that this and the other new facilities make it more convenient for people to take those Lake Erie catches home to their families.”
