The warmer weather and lots of sunshine have made for good boating and fishing on Lake Avery, about 21 miles east of Meeker on County Road 8. This group of fishermen took advantage of the ice-free waters and the newly repositioned dock to try their luck fishing on the lake on April 14 while several individuals and family groups fished from the shore.
Ready to host visitors now that the weather has gotten warmer is the Lake Avery picnic area, just off County Road 8, roughly 21 miles east of Meeker. The picnic areas are clean and feature barbecue grills at each site, the restrooms are open and have been cleaned and the docks are in place so boats can launch and folks can spend an entire day enjoying the fun and sun.
