Have not heard any comments about Polk Daniels lately? Is it open to the public yet?
I drove out this afternoon and the little lake was pretty crowded, mostly just people boating and fishing!
Thanks!
Can you camp over night and where do you get the permits?
Call the City Office 620 374 2202
P& J's used to issue them---but that has been quite some years ago..But Kay or Becky could give you all of the information.
I LOVE Polk Daniels Lake !!!!
Many fond memories come from Polk Daniels Lake. My Dad and uncle fished many hours there. Of course, my brothers and I would tag along. Loved the shelters. Many family picnics and outings were enjoyed there. Spent many hours on Elk River setting lines.
Were those picnic shelters CCC projects? I remember them too from very long ago when we visited. It was always summer and everybody was enjoying fishing there.
I think the lake was a WPA project. All the native rock work around the lake and the shelter houses resembles many projects in that part of the country.
Waldo posted some photos of the lake's construction about this time last year:

From there the thread evolved into a discussion about the Eaglehead and Limestone Road (west from Howard)
