New Pet Waste Stations at Dam and Beach
Posted September 30, 2021
Along with the improvements to the top surface of the dam, we've added pet waste stations to the fence post near the entry to the dam and near the turn-out parking spot near the beach. If you're one of the many people that enjoy taking their pets for a walk in these areas but forgot or misplaced a waste bag, or are just plain inconsiderate, now you don't have an excuse for leaving a steaming pile behind. Remember, these are high traffic areas for our members and their families, so please use these bags to clean up after your pet and deposit it into one of the trash barrels near both locations.
Special thanks to Bob Oreskovic for acquiring and installing the stations!!

Catch and Release Implemented at Peaceful Valley
Posted: June 21, 2021
Our success with eradicating the lake vegetation that plagued us over the past few years has a major downside for anglers—there’s much less fish cover for smaller fish to hide while they grow. Also, the staggering increase in fishing last year during the pandemic ended up significantly decreasing the sport fish population in the lake. For the next year, we’re asking anglers to practice catch and release for Bass, Crappie, and Bluegill to allow them to replenish the stock. We do ask that you help eliminate some invasive species, notably Drum, and Blue and Flathead Catfish. If you catch these please either keep them or dispose of properly.
