DUE to KDHE Lagoon Inspections the Fish cleaning station is still closed.  We can no longer dump the fish bones etc. into the Lagoon.  Accumulation of the bones, skins and other parts over the years have made the lagoon inoperable.  Permission to move the station and have the bones etc. discharge out into the lake has been granted; we know there have been many unforeseen delays in this project, and we apologize.  Thanks for your patience and rest assured we are working to get the much wanted and needed facility up and running again, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

We ask that all visitors be aware of surfaces that are touched regularly and remember they are only as clean or sanitized as the last person to use it.  Wash your hands with soap and water and use alcohol base sanitizer after touching these surfaces (bathroom door handles, self-pay station, etc.)
