Part of the 
Thompson County Park Master Plan includes a pollinator promenade and restored stream. The county has completed design for this work and plans to start construction in September. Temporary, short-term closures of the Lake Loop Trail and the River to River Greenway are expected. Detour signage will help direct visitors.
This project will create a path alongside a restored stream bed. A variety of native trees and plants that engage the senses will line the path. New interpretive signs will be installed along the walkway.

Trail now open
Dakota County Parks will lead additional restoration work around this project site over the next two years. This additional work is not expected to impact the use of the trail.
Funding for this project was provided by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR).
