(La Porte, IN) - People will soon be able to walk above the water in La Porte. The boardwalk is nearly finished at Clear Lake. In addition, construction of a kayak launch has begun at Stone Lake near Cummings Lodge.
Mayor Tom Dermody said the boardwalk, made of wood on the south side of Clear Lake, should be finished before the end of the month. The kayak launch will be done before next summer, he said. Dermody said the park department is also looking at the possibility of renting kayaks to people without their own kayak to put in the water.
The Healthcare Foundation of La Porte was a major financial contributor to both projects, he said. “We are just so fortunate to have that organization in our community and that’s what’s making a difference as we continue to talk about livin’ the lake life for our La Porte residents so they can take advantage of all of our amenities.”
“Livin’ the Lake Life”, developed with help from a marketing firm, debuted last month as the new slogan for the city.
