The Red Rock Lake Association will be offering firewood for sale in the Howell Station and Roberts Creek West Campgrounds this recreation season (Memorial Day to Labor Day). Wood will be sold in bundles for $5.00 each. This new amenity is being coordinated through an agreement between the Association and the Corps of Engineers, Marion County Conservation Board and a local wood supplier. If the first year’s test is successful, the Association may consider expanding the service into other lake area parks.
