RIGBY - Rigby Lake cleanup crews have accomplished quite the makeover.

Thousands of branches and debris were removed from the beaches and surrounding area allowing for 32 new campsites.

Cottonwood trees require high maintenance, and after the fire caused by fireworks last year burned much of the north east corner, commissioners ordered a cleanup.

Scott Herrick, the Lake Caretaker said, "It got to the point it was a big mess, either we close it down for health reasons and all the mess that was here, or we clean up."

Rigby Lake is filled by ground water...... Idaho Fish and Game stocks it up every year.
