Rock County could purchase Camp Indian Trails and turn it into a county park with camping for youth groups.
A detailed report that lays out the idea is on the agenda of the county boardâs Public Works Committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday.
The report suggests the purchase cost could be between $1.2 million and $1.6 million.
Committee Chairperson Rick Richard said the county is expecting around $31 million from the federal American Rescue Plan legislation, and it appears some of that money could help with the purchase. The opportunity for the county to acquire 180 wooded and recreational acres on the Rock River and open it as a park to county citizens comes along once in a lifetime, and I m hearing support for the purchase from most people I ve talked with in the county, Richard said.
Have you ever fantasized about Christmastime lasting all year?
In North Pole, Alaska, it sort of does. The small city just outside Fairbanks is best known for the Santa Claus House, a local tourist attraction and store with a 42-foot Santa Claus statue outside.
North Pole has embraced its Christmas reputation, giving streets names like Santa Claus Way, electing a white-bearded man named Santa Claus to the city council and answering hundreds of thousands of letters from children each year.

There’s more to North Pole than holidays. And despite the name, it’s not actually located in the Arctic Circle. The city is between Fort Wainwright and Eielson Air Force Base. It’s known for its outdoor recreation – Chena Lake Recreation Area has a beach, bike trails, canoe rentals and fishing, and there are several campgrounds and an RV park in the area.
