(KAIR)--Atchison County Lake upgrades are moving forward, with winter months being used for work and planning.

Lake committee chair Ian Saxton told the county commission Feb. 17 that phase one of new walking trails is complete, and a disc golf course is being installed in phases. He also said spillway improvements, east pillar repairs, and restoration at the old ball field site are underway, with an apple orchard planned there.

The commission discussed mowing through a bid process, and Commissioner John Calhoon suggested added security, including trail cameras.
