Nordic Mountain
 | 12 miles away 9 PHOTOS ...ot everyone is willing to try skiing or snowboarding, Nordic Mountain installed the StoneRidge Tubing Park in 2006. The tubing park is over 1500ft long with over 90ft of vertical drop. If has five chutes and numerous ''rollers'' that add lots of thrills for the riders approaching speeds of up to 40mph. The best part is tubers don't have to walk back to the top of the hill. There is a specially designed lift that tows riders back to the top of the hill while sitting in their tubes. With the addition of the park, Nordic Mountain has opened up winter recreation to everyone. In addition to the tubing park, Nordic Mountain continues to undergo many changes and improvements-one of the biggest in snowmaking. Nordic Mountain can make snow on 100% of its terrain including the tubing park. With the improvements in snowmaking technology, they can produce higher quality snow and do so in warmer temperatures. In the past few years Nordic Mountain has more than doubled its snowmaking capacity. The goal is to open earlier, close later, and remain open on marginal winter days. One of the big... |
Goose Lake
 | 18 miles away I usually fish here at least once a year, me and some of my family go up andn stay in a family owned cabin in oxford. Every year goose lake seems to get worse and worse, the weeds are horrible. Its too bad too because during the past goose lake was a pretty decent lake to fish at without it being so weedy, there are pretty huge pike in there and decent size largemouth bass, I myself about 2-3 years ago caught a 18 inch largemouth and my cousin caught a 21 inch largie fishing off the shore with a worm and bobber. I don't enjoy using live bait, so I barely use it, I like giving myself more credit by using artificial lures hah, I enjoy actually doing all the work to catch fish. I hope someday that the people that live in adams county will start paying a little bit of money to at least keep the weeds down and from taking over the entire lake.... |
