The Opasquia Trails has faced some unforeseen hardships after completing some improvements to the trail system. The spring conditions led to some damage being done to the observation platform when the ice melted and moved towards the shoreline.
“The damage was actually done to the original platform in the Kelsey Watershed District office parking lot, at the head of the boardwalk on April 29 around 1 p.m.,” said Opasquia Trails Board Member Megan Molin. “Considerable damage was done to the observation platform when it was pushed off its supports and moved further inland a few meters.
