RE: Parking at the North Boat Launch on Big Marine Lake and Parking near
Sand Lake
INTRODUCTION
I have received several complaints regarding parking at the Boat Launch on Big Marine Lake
and parking related to public access to Sand Lake. I have been in communication with these
communities to attempt to address some of these concerns, but much of it will require
outreach with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Watershed and
the local lake associations who have brought these concerns to our attention. Much of the
concerns primarily center around peak use parking and invasive species prevention. The
City’s capacity to address these issues will likely be limited to making changes to posted
parking restrictions and to facilitate a resolution through these other entities.
RECOMMENDATION
Please let me know if any Council Members wish to assist in this effort. This work will
eventually result in a possible recommendation to the City Council to take any necessary
action and a final update on actions taken.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
