Changes will provide better wildlife habitat, reduce erosion and help improve water quality and public safety at Twin Lake
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is planning a project that will restore the southeast shoreline of Twin Lake in Theodore Wirth Regional Park.
This fall, native vegetation will be planted along the damaged shoreline and eroded slope leading to it. Boulders will also be placed to help prevent further erosion along the slope.
Areas with new plants will be fenced off for up to three years beginning in spring 2024 to help the plants establish and grow in. These changes will provide better wildlife habitat, reduce erosion and help improve water quality and public safety at Twin Lake.
When work is complete, a trail down to the lake will be maintained, along with a lake access point about 20 feet wide in place of the unauthorized beach currently at the site.
