Mud Lake 12 miles away Hi, Could you please tell me if you are having a BlueGrass Festival this year and if so the Date and Time of it.... Woodman Lake 14 miles away fish there alot bass last week running great in shallows... Little Platte River 14 miles away We were two stupid college kids using makeshift paddles and $10 rubber rafts trying to go from Old Lancaster road to County D. I have been canoeing lots on lakes and I would say it would be very difficult to make much progress on this stream. There are a lot of small rapids with low rocks. There were parts that were only a few inches deep. We were lucky a lot because our rubber rafts only sit a few inches into the water, but I would think a canoe or kayak might cause problems. Also watch out for a barb wire stretching across about .5 above county D. If you don't mind carrying your canoe a lot, this stream is fairly gentle. There are some pretty rock walls too. I would not recommend this stream in the dry season though.... O'Leary Lake 16 miles away I love this lake and there are really nice fish there!!!!...

There are no hotels at the base but most are a ten minute drive away....

A state-of-the- art snowmaking system and grooming fleet provide 100% coverage when Mother Nature is not cooperating.... Snowstar, wow cool name, sounds sporty and trendy, I like it.
