Highly disappointed, been going here for years and she hasn't changed a bit. This review is multiple years in the making and long over due. We will be taking our business else where.

We chose the station square location. We arrived 15 min early and were able to board. The weather was absolutely perfect. You could either sit or move about the tiki boat. There was actually more space than I thought there would be. Its also BYOB and food. We had packed a cooler of drinks and snacks. Our 2 hours on the boat was fantastic and I would love to do this again! Highly recommend!

There is a lot to be said about this beautiful body of water & it's stunning array of trees along…read moreit's edges. Where to begin, however, is a thankful challenge. Today was my families first visit here, my mom slipped & fell while attempting to climb into the kayak - but the slippery bank is the only complaint I have....and it's not much of a complaint as it was a good laugh. Anyways, one of the best things I noticed about this park is that it is completely handicap friendly. They have a cute dock that has a rubber mat at the beginning so your wheelchair wont go full speed into the railing, a wheelchair accessible porta potty, parking & store. Although I did not go into the store itself, you can rent kayaks, paddle boats, john boats, canoes, and electric motors or you can even bring your own. And if you are an Akron resident & can bring proof- you get 10% off your rentals :) The water & picnic areas was spotless, no trash anywhere in sight except a large amount of goose poop but that can't be helped. There was a beautiful variety of trees, wildlife( great for bird watchers ( ...I saw at least 5 Blue Herons!), and anyone who loves dragonflies & damselflies. It was quiet, people were very respectful and it truly was very pretty! I also loved their bulletin board (which is a strange thing to appreciate) because they not only had one of my favorite sayings " The world is not your ashtray, please pick up your butts" but they also had a picture/advertisement up to adopt children from a local agency with a short description of that child (I would love to adopt this tween- Jacob if I could). Another stroke at my heart strings was another sign asking visitors to not keep small fish & requested they release them back into the waters to help the population grow and maintain a healthy balance. So kudos to whomever posted all these things because it shows you have an amazing heart!

Don't waste your time going out it's full of disrespectful people. They have let the water turn to green algae with dead fish floating all over.

Was hoping my daughter could grow up loving mogadore reservoir like my husband did but that will never happen. Thank you for ruining the love of this lake to make a dollar!!!

We joined last year shortly after the franchise opened and have never looked back. Just show up, take the boat out and have fun. Then bring it back and you're done, the dock masters do the rest! No cleaning, storage, or maintenance!! Prior to joining FBC, neither my husband nor I had operated a boat before. The dock masters host trainings and go out with you on the water to ensure your safety and that you feel comfortable learning the ins and outs of boating. Want more practice? They're willing to come out with you and work with you any day. The owner Michael and his staff have been wonderful, even putting together social events for members in the off season which have been a lot of fun! One of the best perks of FBC is having access to over 100 reciprocal locations (the Florida clubs are great during the Pittsburgh winters!!). We can't wait for boating season 2020.

Surprisingly, Pittsburgh is an interesting place to boat with the bridges & downtown views. Unfortunately for our nations' cities, there were many people living in tents under the bridges.

This was my first Lake Arthur adventure, renting a 16' pontoon for the day…read more First, when you are supposed to open at 8am... Please don't roll up at 8:07 to get things started. It's bad for the tip jar! After we stood in line with others, equally as excited to hit the lake, things were pretty fabulous. We were given a brief orientation and rules overview and we were off for a sunny day of fishing (yuk) and reading (yay). Of course, we brought enough food for an army, so we thoroughly enjoyed all areas of Lake Arthur, some great company and an overall lazy day on the water. We did dock once for a bio-break. Got to see plenty of lily pads, several heron and a bald eagle, who was fishing for his dinner. Gasoline was included in the rental, which was about $350 for the day, 8am to 8pm. 16' turned out to be just right for 4 of us. Kind of expensive, but a great mid-summer treat! Oh yes - there are grills available for those inclined to grill on the water.
