Woods Historic Grist Mill at Deep River County Park has been a part of our community for generations. To honor the memories and the milestones- let’s see your favorite photos of the mill- bonus points if you are in the picture too!

Here is one of our favorite photos. This is 50 years ago at the mill's dedication in 1976.

So, drop your photos in the comments and let us know the year it was taken (if you can remember) and we will see you on August 30th for an old-fashioned ice cream social!

Listen, we tried to write a serious post about the Big Maple Lake Comfort Station Dedication, but we think it’s even better to just share a silly joke!

Join us tomorrow (Thursday, May 21) at 10:00 AM at Deep River County Park. We’re celebrating our new restroom with a unique ribbon cutting and a kids' program on wildlife s**t.

When Nature Calls: Big Maple Lake Comfort Station Dedication

We are proudly dedicating the new comfort station at Big Maple Lake, a project funded through a heartfelt donation from a longtime resident and park advocate.

The fun starts May 21 at 10:00 AM! We’ll have a brief lighthearted ceremony with remarks from park staff and a formal recognition of the donor that made this facility possible. (Yes, there will be a toilet paper ribbon cutting!)

Immediately following the ceremony, join our park naturalist for a hilarious and educational story time exploring the "fascinating" world of wildlife... well, p**p! Perfect for curious kids and families.

Come out to celebrate this great new addition to the park and stay to learn a little bit about the wild side of nature. See you there!
