A disc golf basket in the Smith Lake Disc Golf Course survived a number of large trees that fell down around it in a March 14 windstorm. The event uprooted trees in a large area north of Whitefish Lake. The Stillwater State Forest is working on plans to open up access and on a timber project in the area that would salvage the fallen trees. (Heidi Desch/Whitefish Pilot)
