The county has been developing a master plan to obtain funding to purchase nearly 430 acres of property which consists of wetlands, forests, fields and over a mile of shoreline along Big Elk Lake & Elk River.
The property was one of 19 projects that will receive funding recommended by The Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission which recommended over 12 million dollars in grants for projects all across the state.
