A
nglers at Roaring River State Park spent more than a year without a fish-cleaning station at the park, but as of June 2021, there is a new place to clean fish. At the end of Campground 3 now sits a brand new fish-cleaning station, a state-of-the-art grinder station, with multiple cutting tables, including an ADA compliant cutting table, two start/ stop control stations, four 60-inch side mount spray hoses and four convenient electrical outlets. The new station improves efficiency while disposing fish remains in an environmentally-friendly manner, through the park’s sewer system to prevent back-gassing.
About 50 people attended the ribbon-cutting for the new fish-cleaning station at Roaring River State Park on, learning how the new facility works from Joel Topham, Roaring River State Park natural resource manager.
