TVA sends new park rules to county

There will be no more porches at Marshall County Park No. 2 and the park can stay open longer.

Those are part of the new campground rules TVA recently sent to the Marshall County Commission.

Park No. 2 is owned by TVA and the commission leases it. The county owns the property that makes up Marshall County Park No. 1, so the new rules don't affect it.

The new rules establish two kinds of campsites, seasonal and short-term.

Commissioner Bill Stricklend, whose district includes Park No. 2, said the commission will have to make changes to the county's park rules to incorporate the new TVA rules.

The park can now remain open 11 and a half months per year, up from eight months.

Campgrounds must be closed and campsites vacated for 14 consecutive days per year. Campers can be stored at the campground parking lot during this time.
