• Funding that was needed to acquire 3,000 acres of land for this park was approved in 2008.
• When developed, the park will provide public access to Lake Vermilion and its 40,000 acres of water, 365 islands and 340 miles of shoreline.
 What's next?An agreement has been reached with U.S. Steel. Once it is finalized, work will begin to draft a development plan for the new park. Updates will be posted here throughout the process. For a good overview, see the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer article Vision for Vermilion. |
