Rough River Dam State Resort Park 50th Anniversary

  Rough River Lake Osprey

An Osprey enjoying the view of Rough River Lake.

2012 marks Rough River Dam State Resort Park’s lodge’s 50th Anniversary. To celebrate, they cooked up (literally!) a special buffet. The food was wonderful.

How wonderful?

Well, we went twice!

My husband and I went at lunchtime, then again at dinnertime. When we returned for dinner, we returned with a couple of family members – our youngest daughter and her husband.

They love great food and beautiful scenery as much as we do, so Rough River Dam State Resort Park’s one of their favorite places as well.

My husband and I enjoyed a memorable boat tour on Rough River Lake. The leaves were beginning to turn, so you can imagine how gorgeous the scenery was. Sunset on the lake was also something I’ll never forget.

While pictures can’t compare to seeing beautiful Rough River Lake in person, I hope you’ll enjoy the ones I took anyway.

It’s just really tough to take pictures when your jaw keeps dropping.

Click on any of the images below for the larger version. So much prettiness.
