c e e ® terse sc r• es a access a e• s es by Brett Coleman, P.E., Planning Engineer Stone Hill Regional Park is located on the shore of Del Clark Lake which was created by the construction of Canby Creek Structure R-1, a previous PL-566 project. The R-1 Structure was built to provide flood control for Canby, MN, and to provide recreational opportunities for the area. . Canby Creek Watershed is located in western Yellow Medicine County with a small portion of the watershed located in Lincoln County, in west central Minnesota. The watershed has a drainage area of 32 square miles and is a tributary of the Minnesota River Basin. As part of our outreach work efforts, Minnesota's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has signed a project agreement with Lac qui Parle -Yellow Bank Watershed District to provide technical and financial assistances for adding outdoor facilities to the Stone Hill Regional Park in order to provide better access to people with disabilities. Construction is anticipated for the spring of 2004. Access for people with disabilities was identified as a need as part of the Structure R-1 Recreational Facilities Work Plan. This project will consist of three major components: • A designated parking area consisting of three van- accessible parking lanes for people with disabilities. 1 `1 x _. ;~~ Before construction, looking from the fishing point towards the beach and bath house, summer 2002. • Installation of a floating fishing pier on Del Clark Lake.
