Pine Lake edition to be distributed free this summer
Eldera Newspapers will provide free copies of the Pine Lake edition to the public this summer at Pine Lake and the Steamboat Rock Recreation Area. Construction of a 1 acre artificial lake dam began in October with 33 000 yards of dirt fill and a 190 foot wide base. The lake reaches 35 feet deep at points and will use fill from a nearby hill. A temporary retention structure will settle silt before reaching the lake, aiming for long term usability. The ski slope opened in January despite light snow, drawing many skiers and sledders with a 1000 foot run, 110 foot vertical, a 650 foot tow rope, and night illumination.
