Great news, the campsites now have electric and water hookups for the 3 RV campsites!

We have been working very hard on this new upgrade and hope it will be enjoyed by many!

Our Fall Trap Shoot was well attended. Check out the new judges stand!

Fish were stocked in April 2025.

The new docks are finished!

Progress on new dock…

Update on the pond and dock:

On January 22nd a group of volunteers drilled and sawed holes in the ice around the new dock structure, because the dock was raising, and the water level is still 21 inches from being full. They also placed diffusers under the dock. The poles for the dock are now freed from the ice and they settled into place.

Below are photos of the dock with one foot of ice around the posts.

24 hours later the dock settled 2 inches, and the ice melted around the dock. For now, the problem has been resolved.

Below are a few pictures of the water level of the pond. These were taken in early December. About 6 feet of water needed to fill the pond!

Pond restoration begins…

It took lots of hard work to get the clogged drain tube opened up for the pond to drain.

The drain plugged and the pond filled up again. We found grass carp in the drain valve clogging the drain.

We thought the biggest fish in the pond was a grass carp…

We are now looking for a new director! Just kidding!! The alligator is actually a 3D archery target used this past July for the Annual 3D Archery Shoot. See the Archery Range page tab for information on the Annual shoot.

The pond drain valve is now closed and the pond is beginning to fill back up.

The plan is to stock fish in the Spring of 2025.
