Clark Lake fills up in summer and empties again in October, and the yards along its roads have to look ready either way. Outdoor Impressions keeps that turnover honest, mowing and trimming through the warm months, cutting edges where lawn meets gravel, clearing leaves once the shoreline maples turn. Winter brings the other half of the job: plowing the two-track drives that wind back toward the cottages, opening the walks, salting steps that face the water. Nothing is worse than arriving at a place you cannot get into, and nothing better than pulling in and finding it open. That arrival is what all of it is for.
