You can do all of that and more, you just can't park your vehicle in the majority of the spaces! Unless of course you have a boat trailer.

That's good, first the place is a boat launch second it's a trail head for a path with plenty of other parking around.

The lot designated for three months of the year as "vehicle with trailer" parking was constructed with PA Fish & Boat funds. The monies for that funding came from boat registration. Anyone launching from the ramp, either powered, canoe, kayak needs to be registered with PA Fish & Boat to legally use the launch from the designated lot. As to loosing revenue from the "cottages", the Borough did not receive income directly from the owners since Safe Harbor owned the ground. Taxes should now be paid thru the cottage owners association.

Why can't anyone ever be positive about anything. Wow. Maybe it could be the attitude that sets the tone and not the crap some people are always whining about. This is a beautiful and great place to live and most people, instead of enjoying what is here they whine and moan about what's not here and the things they have the ability to change but choose not to by not participating oh and using the grand old excuse "Eh no one will do anything about it anyway" as a shield for why no one participates in advocating for the changes they want. It's all in the attitude love what you got and more will come.

Had Columbia kept the land we could have generated income just like Safe Harbor did!
Sewer Hookups now? Reassessment and Taxes!

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -

Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...

NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month.  Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges.  Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police.  When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off.  Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -

  GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
