Work continues at Howard Marsh Metropark Phase II

A 243-acre addition to Howard Marsh has made progress despite the wettest October on record. Hayes Construction has completed the majority of the dike work, with stone surfacing coming up next. When it's completed next spring, the addition, west of Howard Road, will include another 2.3 miles of trail, 4 more miles of water trail, a boardwalk overlook, a kayak share and an accessible kayak launch.
