New faces at Pine Lake: Park Manager, Resource Technician hired

ELDORA - Pine Lake State Park has two new staff members, Park Manager Corey Fangman and Resource Technician Jordan Munson both started in early April. Fangman replaces longtime Park Manager Don Primus, who retired last year, and interim manager, Park Ranger Andy Place, who recently took a job at Big Creek State Park near Polk City.

In addition to Pine Lake, Fangman also manages Union Grove State Park in Gladbrook. “I will be handling both,” he said. “I’ll be at Pine Lake twice a week. The state is moving toward managing different areas as one unit.”
