Mackie Lake Purchase
Polk County recently purchased 160 acres to be added to the Polk County Forest. The land purchased, is surrounded by hundreds of acres of existing County Forest Land. Within the boundaries of this newly acquired parcel of land lies the undeveloped Mackie Lake and a portion of the Clam river. Mackie Lake can be found in McKinley Township at the end of 285th Ave. off County Hwy O. This purchase was made possible with a State Stewardship Fund grant for half the cost. The rest of the funds to pay for the acquisition will come from County Forest timber sale revenues. For more information, call 485-9265.
