Great River Park Additions - D1

Here is an excerpt from an article by Bob Spaulding of Friends of the Mississippi River about the Great River Park planning that has just been completed...

Access to Pig's Eye Regional Park will at long last be made real, with a new connection extending from Warner Road near Childs Road, and continuing south to the north end of Pig's Eye Lake. A new parking area, small boat launch, trails and wildlife viewing areas will finally open up this key park space to the public. Connections may eventually be made from the park toward the east, and over or under US Highway 61.

The Highwood Bluffs will for the first time see an existing off-road trail woven along the bluffside, connecting areas laterally along the river corridor. In the far southeast corner of the city, a renewed Fish Creek park will complement intensive efforts in Maplewood to develop a greenway along Fish Creek.
