Principal objective of this project is to provide free public access to lakes and streams 

 for anglers and other recreational purposes. Shorelines and access are being pur- 

 chased on lakes, and tracts of lands adjacent to streams, including timbered hill- 

 sides, to provide public access and perpetually retain the natural beauty of these 

 areas. Several areas are in the process of being purchased at this tinne in addi- 

 tion to those already in State ownership. Current acquisitions include 17 acies 

 of shoreline on Silver Lake in Palo Alto County (FA: F-5-L) and 37 acres along 

 the Des Moines River near Des Moines (FA: F-6-L).
