Myles really loved catching these fish! He explored the trails looking for "nature mysteries" and learned the importance of "catch and release" fishing.
Who We Are

For more than eighty years the Miami Chapter of the Izaak Walton League has worked to provide a family friendly place for members to enjoy the outdoors.
What We Do
What We Do
We work to preserve and improve our land and our lake. We hold volunteer days to clean and reclaim our lakeshore. There are fundraisers to raise money to improve lake access, restock fish, and other projects.
Our chapter's primary interests are focused on teaching and sharing the enjoyment of all outdoor activities. Our members include hunters, fishermen, campers, and hikers.
Meetings
Meetings
There is one meeting each month. It is held on the second Tuesday of the month at our Chapter House.
The Chapter meeting is held from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. Officers and members meet to propose and vote on new projects, review past projects, handle business operations and exchange information.
For those wanting to join our Chapter or renew their membership we open the East gate and Chapter House before our monthly meeting from 4:30pm to 5:30pm. From January through June we also open the first Saturday of each month from 9am to 10am. New members are registered, dues collected, keys provided and questions answered.
