Under construction!

By Ian Harding

A 100-yard section of the Lake Links Trail at White Bear Lake County Park is currently closed for construction as crews pave the former dirt trail.

As of last Tuesday afternoon the project looked like this:

Looking east from the entrance road to the park

Looking toward the Pacific Ave. crossing of Hwy. 96

Ramsey County Public Works advises us that this section of the Lake Links Trail will be unavailable for use until approximately Nov. 9 as crews pour the pedestrian ramp, lay the bituminous trail, and stabilize the slopes on either side for winter. Please use the shoulder of Hwy. 96 (Lake Ave.) as an alternate route until the work is complete.

A big thank you to all involved in helping to fund and complete this valuable link between Hwy. 96 (Lake Ave.) and the Mark Sather segment of the Lake Links Trail in White Bear Lake!
