Bass Lake Beach and Campground, Starke County Forest to be Discussed by County Park Board

The Bass Lake Beach and Campground will once again be discussed by the Starke County Park Board tonight. The park board recently decided to hire an independent contractor to inspect the property, after the board was unable to get a formal report from the county building inspector.

Having formal documentation of the beach and campground’s condition is seen as a way to give Starke County some leverage against operator Callahan Development, LLC. As it stands, Callahan is set to proceed with an automatic extension of its lease with the county.

Meanwhile, the park board was scheduled to meet in joint executive session with the county commissioners last week “to discuss possible litigation.”

During tonight’s meeting, the Starke County Park Board also plans to discuss the Starke County Forest and the Erie Trail. The meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. in the Starke County Annex Building.
