The state Natural Resources Board has approved a plan to expand Camp American Legion in a state forest near Lake Tomahawk. The Legion has operated the camp since 1925 on Big Carr Lake and Little Lake Tomahawk as a restoration facility for sick-and-disabled veterans. Superintendent Steve Peterson of the Northern Highland-American Legion State Forest says the camp has had a number of leases -- and if it wanted to expand, the state would work with the veterans' group. Peterson says an additional 225 acres will be available for accessible trails and hunting opportunities for veterans and their families.
