Laura Gipson
Development Coordinator " I discovered this park while attending school and absolutely fell in love with it! Lake McMurtry was a great "get away" from my studies. A place where my dog and I could find solitude. After working here part time for 3 years I was offered a full time position and have loved it ever since"
