About this episode

Eleanor Corbin joins Debra Fitzgerald to discuss local controversies surrounding wakesurfing on Clark Lake and the 'Rock on the Rock' event at a former quarry.

Peninsula Pulse reporter Eleanor Corbin joins Debra Fitzgerald to discuss two controversial local stories: wakesurfing on Clark Lake and the new “Rock on the Rock” event at the former Leathem & Smith quarry. Wakesurfing has become a popular recreational sport, but not everyone believes it belongs on a shallow lake like Clark Lake. Meanwhile, neighbors have raised concerns about “Rock on the Rock,” which features live music and an LED light show projected onto the quarry’s 70-foot rock wall.
