Flooding in the spring of 2019 closed the entire lower campground area until gravel was delivered, spread, and graded. As staff work through permanent solutions for repeated, historic high water in the Lower Campground area (SW side of Lac qui Parle Lake in Lac qui Parle State Park), the restoration of the original road entrance became a key part to access the Group Camps during high water. This section of road is to rebuild the road connection with Lac qui Parle County Road 33 where it originally was without disturbing the soil bed currently in place. The projects entails 225 feet of rebuilt roadway, of a width between 22 - 26 feet (wider where it enters the county road), and 3 feet deep to meet with the current road remnant (deeper where the county road ditch is). This contract will be for the hauling, shaping, and packing of the road segment plus the installation of a culvert (supplied) in the county road ditch (ROW), installation of erosion control fencing and erosion control fabric on the black dirt side slopes. Seeding will be done by park staff.
