What's Happening at Hatchet
Smokey reports that there is 35 inches of ice on the lake and he is busy hauling wood for the summer. Harvey is busy making plans for the annual fuel haul that will happen sometime towards the end of March.
For those who haven't booked yet, we still have some spots available. We are excited about the upcoming season and the River Adventure Trip, as the response from our customers has been very positive!
