New Boardwalk in La Porte Now Open

(La Porte, IN) - People can now go for a walk above the water in La Porte.  The 400 foot long boardwalk made of wood at Clear Lake is now finished.

 

Parks Superintendent Mark Schreiber said much of the construction was finished in late October but it took about a month to complete the rest of the finishing touches and open it to the public.  “It’s a beautiful day so hopefully people can take advantage,” he said.

 

The boardwalk costly nearly $700,000 is about 15 feet out from the southern edge of Clear Lake.  The Healthcare Foundation of La Porte paid the entire bill.

 

Eventually, Schreiber said the Chessie Trail and other trails at Clear Lake will connect with the boardwalk so that area becomes even more of a destination.
