The US forestry service has plans to permanently closes Twin Lakes Recreation area and campground in 2009. They are trying to fast track the closing as to do it quietly to avoid public outcries to stop the closing. There plan is to close the campground at the end of this season and just not reopen it next year. This is a beautiful campground that has a recreational beach great fishing booth lake and stream two group site that hold 50 people. In the past few years the Forestry service has fell short with the general upkeep of the park but it isn't that far gone that with some repairs and up date the this recreational area could be the show place of the ANF. An additional problem they've had is some bad campground hosts that gave the park a bad reputation. Closing this park would be a waste of the infrastructure that is already in place as well as a waste of a beautiful recreational area. If you've ever been to this park and don't want to see it closed please contact Sen. Peterson and voice your opinion that's the only way to save this park. PLEASE HELP.

It would help if you told us what state, county, or location that the Twin lakes
you are talking about is. There are many Twin Lakes across the US.

We have 2 Twin Lakes that are less than 100 miles apart here in the Sierra of CA. As othertonka asked, which Twin Lakes are you referring to? I googled "twin lakes" and every hit on just the first page was from a different State, I think you need to be a little more specific.

I'm just happy I knew what he was referencing. I'm usually on the other end of the mysterious abbreviations.

His userid is Allegheny NF Camper and he is from Northwest PA. That should be a clue as to which National Forest he is talking about. I googled Twin Lakes Recreation area and it was the third group in the list.
