In August 2002, the Club recently completed the installation of a pontoon in the Little Blue Lake.  Working with the District Council of Grant, Rotary members also established a footpath leading down to the pontoon. Within minutes of installation, the pontoon received the approval of four divers, who happened to be swimming in the lake at the time.  The footpath and pontoon now provide a safe and accessible means of accessing the Little Blue Lake.    Article in the Border Watch showing preparation work for the footpath to the Little Blue Lake.
