Bogwalk construction canceled for Monday
WADENA - Plans to gather volunteers to construct a 750-foot long educational bogwalk in the Old Wadena County Park on the Crow Wing River Monday have been canceled.
Heavy rains during the last few days have caused the water to come up ankle deep in the bog, making it difficult to install the dock sections this fall, said Old Wadena Society President Tom Kajer.
Old Wadena Park is about five miles northwest of Staples.
