Clare Mill Pond Set for Refilling and Fishing Stock
Clare Mayor Jesse Hampton leads a three week effort that culminated in a lease with Consumers Power Co granting the city a five year term to refill Clare Mill Pond and stock it with fish with an option for another five years. The deal includes use of adjacent lands for a tourist park and grove and the old dam powerhouse. A community bee by the Clare Rod and Gun Club drew 150 sportsmen to clear brush and remove stumps, as the club supervised work to improve the pond and surrounding property for recreation and conservation.
