A Little Falls legislator wants state funds to build a trail that supporters say could boost tourism in Morrison County. Hello everyone,

The proposed Camp Ripley/Veterans State Trail would start at the Paul Bunyan State Trail in Crow Wing State Park, go south along the Mississippi River through Little Falls, and end at the Soo Line South ATV Trail near Royalton.

Rep. Mike LeMieur, R-Little Falls, testified Tuesday for a bill that would appropriate $10 million to the Minnesota DNR for the proposed trail. Under LeMieur's bill, that money would come from the Parks & Trails Fund of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, a constitutional sales tax for outdoor and arts projects approved by voters in 2008.
