Camp Lake View
I’m involved with this great project in Lincoln Co. that not enough people know about. It’s a youth camp called Camp Lakeview, situated on the left fork of Mud River Lake. As you can see from some of the photos I have included here, it is a beautiful spot. I, and a few other volunteers have been working on this project for a number of years now. So far, we have managed to have the property graded in preparation of buildings and recreation areas. We have built a floating pier and swimming enclosure, a rustic cabin, a caretakers home, and a picnic shelter. Now we are to the hard part, designing and building dormitories and a dining hall, and coming up with the funding to get this done. This is where we could use some help.
Camp Lakeview is and can be a truly unique facility for not just Lincoln County but for this entire region. It will provide activities for young people that include, swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. We also have plans to use this as an educational facility with an emphasis on our environment and ecspecially how we interact with our water resources. In this vein, it is also our intent to utilize the latest in “green” building technology in the construction of our buildings and use them as a show piece of what can be done.
So, if any of these areas interest you, come get involved. You don’t have to be an expert, just bring your energy. The rewards will last a lifetime.
