It was a warm and steamy evening for the July 2nd Walking Lake Pepin (WLP) group walk around the Lake City Marina.
History records that the inner harbor and point were acquired by the city in 1913. In 1933 the city received a public works grant to build docks and widen the north entrance to the harbor. In August 1934 Franklin D. Roosevelt attended the dedication of the new harbor.
The outer harbor was constructed in 1984 with the addition of 300 boat slips.
Most of the WLP group walked out onto the 900 foot breakwater along the outer harbor enjoying a great view of Lake Pepin.
Heading back to Ohuta Park the group took a break finding some shade and a slight breeze
at the deck behind the Marina office that faces the entrance to the inner harbor
For many of the group this was their first time enjoying the Marina deck and pledged to come back to watch the boats coming and in and out of the harbor and enjoy a southern view of Lake Pepin.
The group walked along the inner harbor returning to Ohuta Park shelter for a snack, water and conversation.
WLP Group Walk next week, Wednesday July 9, is at Schlagenhaft’s Season's Harvest Farm. The group will carpool, meeting at 6:15 at the front parking lot of Bluffview School.
All are welcome. Bring a friend.
