2021 BAKER CREEK UPDATE!
A culvert replacement project at Baker Creek on Airport Road in Grand Marais was completed over the summer of 2021. It was a joint project with the Alger County Road Commission to replace the cracked culvert to improve
stream and fishery health by reestablishing stream connectivity. Stream monitoring was performed by
ACD staff, and the Road Commission also graded and vegetated the slopes and installed paved diversion
channels to reduce sediment contamination from the gravel road.
