Celebrating Father’s Day at Clark Lake can take various forms.  In this case, it’s a choreographed photo of family taken for Dad and Mom–the Drs. Jack and Mary Bentley.

Seeing more of the redesigned paddleboards brings up an interesting question. Have you noticed the watercraft trends at Clark Lake?  Checking the boat count on this website provides clues.  First there are a few of a new or redesigned watercraft, then popularity hits and there are many–and some stick around.  For example Hobies grew exponentially in the 1970s and 1980s–and now rafts dominate.  In the last few years, kayaks have become very popular.  Now there is a resurgence of paddleboards, but with a new design that makes it easier for a person to stand and paddle.  These new paddleboards also make for a great photo!
