(KAIR)--Canoeing, kayaking, a fishing derby, and frisbee golf are among features included in the planning for the future of the Atchison County Lake.

That was discussed Tuesday during the regular meeting of the Atchison County Commission where County Lake Committee Chair Ian Saxton outlined, through a power point presentation, proposals for both the next year and beyond:

Saying that volunteers have assisted in repairs and cleanup at the lake site, Saxton explained to the Commission that a not-for-profit has been established in order to receive donations earmarked for the lake's future:

Currently, improvements are underway in advance of the camping season:

Additionally, included in the planning, is a kickoff event at the lake in the spring of 2026:

Saxton, during his presentation, also proposed the County's extension of its current retailers quarter cent sales tax to include the County Lake among funded improvements of four county facilities.

Following input from the Commission, which took no action stemming from the presentation, Commission Chair Casey Quinn thanked Saxton for the dialogue.
