Greasy B Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Good news, so we finally have something to show for the inexcusable mess UE created on Black River. Somehow it just doesn't seem like enough. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974

We had a club meeting there Monday afternoon/evening and the supt gave a presentation and said they were going to get 5- 7 mil from the settlement. This is going to be a great put in/ take out for my canoes.
Gavin Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Are they gonna let people park,launch, and take out there?
awhuber Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 Are they gonna let people park,launch, and take out there? Yes! They have a lot of great plans for the place. Stop in on your next trip and talk to Jim Newberry supt. They are doing a "soft" opening so you wont see much about it anywhere.
Gavin Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks will have to check it out when we're down next week
Idylwilde Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 The lower lake has some 13" crappie, Huge Blue Gill, and thousands of stunted bass. I was able to fish it two years ago while I was working for the state. They will not have any available launch for floating out of the park. Take a Child Fishing they are the future of the sport.
