(KNSI) – A meeting is set for Thursday, August 29th for the Chain of Lakes County Park management plan.
County and state governments teamed up with outside groups like Pheasants Forever to finalize the new park, which is located on County Road 49, just south of Cold Spring.
It will be the first in Stearns County to allow small game and archery deer hunting for the public. Plans are currently underway for wetland and prairie restorations on the farmland portion of the property. The new park also contains wooded areas, a trout stream and a heron rookery. There is also a plan to set aside seven acres for a picnic area, fishing pier, and campground.
The public will have a chance to give feedback on how the Parks Department runs the 250-acre tract of land on the Sauk River. The meeting will run from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at the Wakefield Town Hall.
