REMINDER – This Saturday, Jaunary 17, is the 3rd Saturday of the month already! At 1:00 pm we will meet at the River Hawk Annex to Hike, Ski, Snowshoe. We will spend some time exploring the trails in the area and then return to the Annex for refreshments. The Annex does have heat and modern bathrooms! You are welcome to explore with the group or on your own. You may customize your outdoor activity in regards to time and tolerance for the cold – you do not have to stay with the group and may return to the heated Annex when you’re ready. We will have some displays highlighting activities available in the Park. Bring your family and friends. 2009 annual permits (as well as daily permits) will be available from a Ranger at the Annex.

There is a correction to the Friends of Proud Lake Membership Application. The membership rates on the previous application I sent are incorrect. The correct rates are: single membership $10.00 and Family membership $15.00. I apoligize for the mistake. Click the link for the corrected form.-friends_member_form

Greetings and Happy New Year! I hope you will make 2009 a year that you become more involved w/ the Friends of Proud Lake Recreation Area. Members in good standing (having paid membership dues for the year) have voting privilages. Business meetings will be held the first Wednesday of each month beginning in February. I’ve attached a 2009 Membership Application. We are planning some special events that will bring you to the Park for a great time.

Remember that we hike/ski/snowshoe on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month at 7:00 pm from the River Hawk Annex. We will also hike/ski/snowshoe on Saturday, January 17th. Snow Snake races are set for January 31 across from the River Hawk Lodge. If you would like to purchase a Snow Snake kit that has been prepped by the Boy Scouts, there’s still time, contact the Park office at 248-685-2433.
