Name That Van!

The Lakeshore has a brand new mobile visitor center and we are looking for a name! We have received many suggestions throughout the summer and it is time to vote on the final four. Please vote on our social media, at the visitor center, or below with email. The finalists are:

  • Bear Force One
  • Dune Dasher
  • Rovin' Ranger
  • Sand Van


Please e-mail us with your vote. We will debut the chosen name during our anniversary celebration on October 21st!
