Dillon State Park - Safety Patrol Boat, date unknown: While the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built Dillon Reservoir primarily for flood control, it had a secondary use as a piece of recreational infrastructure. With that in mind, the Corps maintained safety patrols on Dillon Lake to help boaters in need. Today, this duty is performed by ODNR Division of Parks and Watercraft since ODNR leases the lake from the Corps.
