Some State Closures in Lakes Area

Many of the functions of the Department of Natural Resources have been shutdown as a result of the budget impasse in St. Paul. 

Sue Galligan of the Pequot Office of the Brainerd Chamber of Commerce tells KLKS News, visitors will notice some changes.  She says the Pequot fire tower is closed, and the Paul Bunyan Trail will not be maintained, although it will remain open.

Galligan says the Corps of Engineers campground in Crosslake Will be open as usual because it is a U.S. facility.
