Black River Lodge 60th Anniversary

Black River Lodge celebrates its 60th year anniversary this year. I know I speak for everyone that goes there when I say that it has brought joy and a lot of fun to our lives every year. A lot of hard work and effort is put in by the Ries family to make our week very special, it is "the perfect family vacation". The river is a big attraction, but there is much more to vacationing at Black River Lodge, it isn't just about the river. I can't imagine a summer without Black River Lodge. We count down the days till we go every year and the closer we get to our reservation time, the more excited we become. I love the Black River and I am saddened by the breach of the Taum Sauk reservoir and what it has done to the river and the surrounding area. Regardless, we are loyal patrons of Black River Lodge and the establishments in the surrounding area and I expect that everyone will come this year just as we have in the past. Hopefully the river will return to its clear cyrstal like condition soon. What would the week be without visiting Peola Valley Pottery, Lenny's, S & J or the Black River Ice Cream Parlor? (just to mention a few) As the sign says when you enter the lodge "Your Gonna To Like It Here!" and we do!
