All’s Well At Redfish Lake Throngs of people enjoy the beach and the clear water in front of the Redfish Lake Lodge Tuesday afternoon. Recreation areas at the lake south of Stanley were briefly closed last week after a fire started in nearby stands of live and dead timber. The Road 210 Fire—which burned about 200 acres—did not burn any structures or recreational facilities at the lake. Warm weather and clear skies have again attracted visitors to the site.
