Our Campfire season is now closed. We have to ask that campfires wait until Spring. Thanks!

*Fishing Report--
  The bay is froze and there are some bob-houses out there. People seem to be sticking pretty close to the bay, as our unusually warm winter has left the ice thinner than usual. Be VERY careful on the ice and please check before you go as it has been changing regularly depending on the weather. Check out this "Fishing Forecast" link, it says where to find the fish you are after

*Lake Report
The lake level is above normal by 4.32" as of 2/9 and the lake temperature was reported to be 36°

Pool Report
The pool is  closed for the season. It was a great pool season this year!

*Gardening Report--
Unless you have house plants, things are looking a little like winter.  Please feel free to ask for help planning for a spring garden

*Wildlife--
  This time of year tends to be good for smaller birds and some ducks.  Also be on the lookout for Deer, I have seen a lot of tracks near the river.  Keep your eyes peeled and your cameras at ready, as I would love pictures of wildlife to add to the page
