The immensely popular and quite unique Black Beach Park on the Lake Superior shoreline in Silver Bay will see some new improvements to make access and use of the beach and park space easier for visitors in the future.
Business North reports that the City of Silver Bay secured a grant for $341,800 from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and their State Park Road Account to do some work on the access road to the beach and park space.
The road, East Lakeview Drive, is a gravel access roadway owned by the City of Silver Bay that is the vehicular means of access to the beach and park. As the beach and recently-opened campground continue to grow in popularity, a need for improvements was seen by local officials.
