Summary
In November 2014, forum participants discussed where islanders had historically skated outdoors, naming ponds near Gull Harbor, Font Lake, and the harbor. One participant recalled county snowplow clearing and harbor bonfires. The thread then turned to a possible covered or indoor rink, including an offer of donated materials, but it records an idea rather than an approved or completed project.
Evidence limits
These are local recollections and informal proposals. They do not establish safe ice conditions, current or historical public access, township sponsorship, funding, or construction of a rink.
