Muskegon Recreation Club

The Muskegon Recreation Club is the oldest social club in this area, having been established in August 1902. It was founded by a small group of sportsmen who were interested in the preservation of fish and wildlife.

Today, the club's membership includes men from all walks of life, encompassing a deverse range of interests not necessarily centered on conservation.However, the intent of the original founders deserves recognition and their statment of beliefs is sat forth herewith:

Recognizing the right of property owners, we condemn all discourtesy or vandalism, and any unsportsmanlike conduct that might create prejudice against hunters and fisherman."

"We invite to membership all those men (1) who enjoy the sport of shooting and angling, (2) who would increase the opportunities for those sports by increasing and preserving the supply of game birds, animals, and fish and, (3) who would preserve and protect our forests, lakes, and streams.To this end we devote our sincere efforts."
