A new marina — and mountain bike trail — in works at Fellows Lake

Fellows Lake, 5 miles north of Springfield, is a popular fishing, sailing and hiking destination Wes Johnson/News-Leader

After 60 years of serving boaters and anglers in a small cove on the north side of the lake, the aging Fellows Lake Marina is in for a major change.

City Utilities plans to demolish the old marina and build a new one over the fall and winter next year at an estimated cost of about $500,000. The new marina is planned to be open by the spring of 2020.

CU also want the next marina operator to be involved in designing the floating dock.
