Sand Point Beach Park Project Underway!
The project at Sand Point Beach Park is now underway and slated to be completed by May 2018. This joint project with the City of Prior Lake will improve the treatment of stormwater from the 82 acres of land which is funneled through the park's stormwater treatment ponds before entering Lower Prior Lake. This project will: 1) expand the two existing stormwater ponds; 2) add iron-enhanced sand filters to treat the stormwater; and 3) add native prairie plantings to the park.

Spring Lake Public Boat Launch: Work on Maintenance Project continues this spring
The DNR began work last fall on a maintenance and site improvement project at the launch. Due to project delays the work will be completed this spring, although most work won't begin until spring load restrictions on roads are lifted (approx May 7th). The ramp will be periodically closed during work; the DNR's goal is to generally have the launch open on weekends. Please plan accordingly. Contact the DNR with questions.
