Township Guide

Horton Park

Horton Park is located on the Bear Lake shore at the intersection of Glenwood and Lake Street and is about 300 feet long by 100 feet wide. It is named for the Horton family, who were longtime residents of the Township. It has facilities for picnicking, a swimming beach, playground equipment and restroom facilities. Small watercraft can be launched at the road ending when water levels permit. In winter, the area allows access to Bear Lake for ice fishing.  Please note, swimming is at your own risk as there is no lifeguard.

Mullally Park/Lange Complex

On Horton Road north of Giles Road is where you'll find this 58 acre park. A childless couple, James and Mae Mullally, donated it to the Township. It offers picnic areas, baseball, football, volleyball, and soccer fields, tennis courts, walking/jogging path, various playground areas including the Margaret Campbell handicap accessible playground. During the spring, summer and fall several youth organizations (Laketon Youth Activities Council, Reeths Puffer Youth Football, Reeths Puffer Baseball and Reeths Puffer Youth Softball) have organized sports for boys and girls - soccer, baseball, softball, football and cheerleading.   Two picnic shelters are available for individuals and groups on a first come, first served basis, although the Township requests courtesy notification from larger groups wishing to use the picnic shelters.  Click here for a map to this park.  (Note: this park is denoted by the number 1 on the map)
