Bead Lake

The Forest Service is seeking a volunteer summer host for the public boat launch site at Bead Lake.

Although no public camping is allowed at the site, the host would be allowed to put an RV of some sort on a special campsite with hookups and propane, plus a $20 per day stipend and use of a cellular phone.

The host is asked to be at the site a minimum of five days a week to perform minor duties, including opening and closing the gates, collecting user data and minor cleanup.

Info: Nan Berger, Newport Ranger Station, (509) 447-3129.
