On Friday, January 15 Governor Pawlenty's office announced that an agreement had been reached with US Steel to purchase 3000 acres of land for the creation of the Lake Vermilion State Park.
The agreement is still subject to legislative approval, but what many had written off has now moved much closer to becoming a reality.
The purchase will include 5 miles of undeveloped shoreline adjacent to the exsisting Soudan Underground Mine State Park. If everything comes together, day use of the park could begin as early as the summer of 2011.
We will continue to post updates on the Lake Vermilion State Park section of our website (found under "Things to See & Do" - "Nature & Public Lands").
Don't forget to enter our trivia contest for a chance to win $50 off stay at any of our member properties. The offer is good for one year from the date of issue.
