Story
The Mittler family love Corey Lake and the wildlife that call it home as well. They wanted to help make sure it could keep its remaining natural shoreline. Their gift of land on the north bay of Corey Lake permanently protects not only the wetlands along the shoreline, but some of the nearby forested uplands that provide groundwater recharge to the springs that feed the lake.
