Summary
The November 1963 Beaver Beacon reported that the Fisheries Division had restocked Fox Lake with 1,300 legal-size brook trout. The same notice said ten additional State Forest Campground campsites would be added on Beaver Island.
Evidence and limits
The trout planting is reported as completed; the campsite expansion is retained as an announcement. Neither a stocking certificate nor construction record is included.
Open questions
- Can Fisheries Division and State Forest records confirm the planting and campsite expansion?
