A post by Owen Brown News caught my eye today. The Committee for Lake Elkhorn Environmental Restoration is putting together a report on issues and eye sores concerning the lake. I live on the edge of the lake and bicycle around it frequently. After reading the post I decided to create a sound slides presentation of the problems I found.
Most of the problems are cosmetic and can be fixed easily. Paths need to connect to benches or trails, dead trees need to be removed and the dock platforms need to be replaced. Drains should be hidden by shrubbery and the dam needs to be either accessible to the people who walk on it, or completely closed off. One problem in particular stuck out at me.
The pavilion on the lake has a sign stating the restrooms are open and available to the public when the nature camp is not in session. What the sign doesn't say is that you need bolt cutters to get to them. The sign also states that a security attendant is on duty Monday through Friday 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. I took this picture at 4:35 p.m. and I didn't see a security attendant in the office or anywhere on the property.
Residents with concerns or issues regarding Lake Elkhorn should email Elaine Pardoe at em.pardoe@verizon.net

Hi Jack
Hey your pictures covered just about everything our presentation to the WAC will cover. Once we present the information to CA, we will try to find a way to get a copy to the public. Thanks for all the effort.
