A proposed RV resort on Elbow Lake has generated a wave of protest from lakeshore owners, and ran into some resistance from the Becker County Board on Tuesday, July 20.
Joey Stahl of Amenia, N.D., owns about 50 acres on and near Elbow Lake and requested a conditional use permit to put in a 49-unit RV park there. Elbow Lake is in Becker County on the White Earth Reservation, roughly centered between White Earth Village, Ponsford and Naytahwaush.
