Proposed Bass Lake Beach Improvements to be Discussed by Starke County Park Board

Updates on the Bass Lake Beach and Campground and the Starke County Forest are expected, during tonight’s Starke County Park Board meeting. The park board’s calling on the operator of the Bass Lake Beach to repair the beach house patio and the seawall surrounding the site.

Board members believe the work should be considered maintenance. That means it would be up to lessee Callahan Development, LLC to cover the cost, but it remains to be seen whether Callahan agrees with that assessment. A response from Callahan’s attorney will be reviewed during tonight’s park board meeting.

Board members are also expected to get an update on the Starke County Forest’s planned timber sale, as well as the repair of the forest’s access lane.

Tonight’s Starke County Park Board meeting starts at 6:00 p.m. in Starke County Annex Building No. 1.
