Starting this fall through May 2019, Thompson Lake will undergo a restoration effort led by Dakota County, the City of West St. Paul and the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization.
The restoration project will focus on removing contaminated sediment from the lake and improving storm water management.
During this project several trail segments will be closed and some parking space in the picnic shelter parking lot will be used to stage equipment. Access to the picnic shelter and restrooms will remain open throughout the project which is expected to be completed by the end of May.
