 Kirstie Marone reports. The land borders the chain right where it empties into the Sauk River near the city of Cold Spring. Ben Anderson, Stearns County's Parks Director, says it's a unique property that will provide public access to the lakes. It has some rolling hills, it has some old-growth oak forest on it, and it has some opportunity for both prairie and oak savanna restoration on it, and along with wetland restoration.
