Campaign to Buy Island, Peninsula on Lake San Cristobal Succeeds

Laura Palmisano

The island and peninsula on Lake San Cristobal is now owned by Hinsdale County. A group of Lake City residents raised $200,000 to help buy the 10-acre property. Great Outdoors Colorado also awarded a $1.3 million grant to help make the purchase. Laura Palmisano speaks with Hinsdale County Commissioner Kristine Borchers.
