(KNSI) — Fishing from the pier at Warner Lake County Park near Clearwater is off limits for now.
The Stearns County Parks Department is installing a floating dock in the same place as the pier on the southeast side of the lake, meaning it’s unavailable until the new one is finished. Park officials estimate it should be done by next week.
The rest of the 264-acre park, including the public beach, walking and biking trails, picnic areas, and other amenities, will still be open and available for use.
