The Iowa Transportation today (Tuesday, September 8, 2020) awarded funding for a local rail trail project. Erin Reed of Dickinson County Trails tells KUOO news they were awarded $176,522 for the next phase of a project along former railroad right-of-way between Spirit Lake and Lake Park.
Reed says this is for what's known as “section c” of the third phase of the project, known as “Tatonka Ska Trace”.
Reed says from there, the plan is to continue paving west, eventually going all the way to Lake Park.
