Atchison County approves County Lake resolution as recreational use rises
Summary
The Atchison County Commission on June 30 approved a County Lake resolution after a report of increased recreational activity; the County Lake Committee is considering a ‘no wake’ designation to support anglers, and commissioners commended the committee’s work.
The Atchison County Commission on June 30 reviewed an update from the County Lake Committee and approved a County Lake resolution as recreational use of the lake has increased.
Lan Saxton, representing the County Lake Committee, told commissioners the lake has seen more activity recently, including a wedding, and that the committee is considering establishing a “no wake” zone to provide anglers with calmer water and better fishing opportunities. The Commission reviewed a new County Lake Resolution and approved it by a 3-0 vote.
Commissioner James Campbell commended Saxton and the committee for their work and for handling difficult interactions with some residents. Chairwoman Casey Quinn and other commissioners noted the committee’s progress and emphasized safety and orderly use of county recreational assets.
The commission’s action was limited to reviewing and approving the resolution; the transcript records the committee will continue work on specific operational measures such as a potential no‑wake designation and did not record further binding restrictions or implementation details. The resolution was approved; next procedural steps were left to the County Lake Committee and staff to carry out and report back at a future meeting.
