Johnson Lake Recreation Area

Thanks to your donations, Johnson Lake Recreation Area has been able to add more activities to the annual Halloween event. As well as continuing support to our life jacket loaner program. Future goals are to raise funds for a 9-hole disc golf course for public use (currently in progress). 

Thanks to your donations and continued support, the free access life jacket loaner stations now offer vest-style jackets of all sizes for public use. This year has seen an increase in the number of life jackets loaned out.

Donations for our annual Halloween event help keep this event free for guests, as well as help with prize and supply support. Currently, this event features campsite decorating, pumpkin painting, kid games, trick-or-treating, educational talks by naturalists, and marshmallow roasting at the Peterson Scout Bin on the night of the event.

The life jacket lending program has been very successful. In 2024, the lending stations were upgraded to closet-style cabinets. All life jackets offered are vest-style in various sizes. Your continued support for this public service saves lives. Thank you!

Our current goals are to raise funds to add a 9-hole disc golf course for the public and to continue support for our annual Halloween event. The disc golf course is currently in its initial stages, with a planned location in the northeast area of the main recreation area.
