Rogers Lake Campsite
(5/19/2010)
This is Rogers Lake Camps from the early 70's. As you can see it was quite an operation. It housed woodsman and was the center of wood operations for the local Paper Mill. It also was a lodge for its employees on a pay as you go basis. (Note: if anyone has some history on this, I''d gladly share it with our viewers). It is now the location for Doodle's Rogers Lake Lodge. He is currently expanding his present lodge to a couple of extra rooms and is also in the the process of making facilties for an on site trailer park for summer camping. This is an excelent location for 4 wheeling and central for all sorts of trout fishing, as well as hunting in the Fall.

May 03, Monday, Club #1, AGM Meeting
(4/28/2010)
New Trail Permit prices as listed below were voted in by the member clubs of the NBFSC as was recomended by the board of directors at the Annual General Meeting held in the Miramichi an May 02.
A three year planwas proposed for trail permits. There has been no increase in trail permits for three years so they are proposing a gradual increase in trail permit fees to lessen the impact.
Registration types After Dec 15 Pre Dec 15 Classic
Now + HST $200 $150 $75
2010-2011 $210 $155 $80
2011-2012 $220 $160 $85
2012-2013 $230 $165 $90
2013-2014 $240 $170 $95
All other permit prices will remain the same as the 2009-2010 season.
Also approved earlier this year was monies allocated for bridges, which have to be approved by the board and DNR before June 30th this year.
There is much work to be done and we need volunteers to assist in this endeavour to get these bridges built.
A new board of directors was also voted in with new directors from Zones 2, 4, 6,and 8. Jody Tower was voted in as our new Provincial president replacing Leon Bourque
