Wednesday, June 15, it was a beautiful evening for the second group walk of the season for Walking Lake Pepin (WLP) participants. The group walked 1.5 miles from the Lake City Sportsman’s Club to the bridge over Miller Creek.
A beaver dam was discovered on Miller Creek and thanks to Paul Myers information was shared about the valuable contributions beavers make to the environment; including wetland creation and water quality.
On Wednesday, June 22, the WLP group will meet at Underwood Park on 10th Street at 6:30 pm and walk through The Jewel with Jim Schreck providing a narrative about the history of the Jewel Nursery adding his memories of working at the Jewel during his youth.
On Wednesday June 29, the WLP group walk will explore Old Frontenac. The group will meet at 6:30 at Wells St just off County 2. Jeff and Ann Bolin current residents of the lodge, will talk to the group about St. Hubert’s Lodge. The lodge was built in 1855 as a hunting lodge by Israel Garrard, one of the first settlers in Old Frontenac.
On Wednesday July 6 there will be no WLP group walk due to the July 4th holiday.
