About Fostoria Reservoir #4 (Lake Mosier)

This is a shallow, old reservoir on east side of CR 23, with a parking area and a gravel boat ramp at entrance. (When the reservoir is dry, as it sometimes is in summer, one can drive down the ramp to the edge of water, wherever that may be).

 

There is a path around the top of the reservoir, but with a scope one can view the entire area from the west and south sides, from which the light is favorable except in early morning.
