The video feeds in the overflow lot are still down so pictures will have to do. The last two tanks were set in place today.
Day four brought the completion of the work by the entrance and the driveway. It looks like the electrical work is still in progress in this area. Digging has started behind the Gathering Room to install the last tank (towards the end of the video you can see the excavator moving over the back right corner of the Gathering Room). Unfortunately the had to disconnect the power in that area so the camera feeds from the overflow lot are down.
A lot of progress was made today!
Here is a time lapse video of the first day of work. I will try to post updates as time allows.- Jim A
Here is a list of construction projects in the area that may affect travel time to and from the campground. If you are coming up from the Cities, might be best to avoid 169 if you can.
Replace box bridge over the Marmon Creek between 327th Pl. and 325th Ave. in Malmo, Aitkin County. Project requires a detour.
Resurface and improve five miles of Hwy 169 from south of Garrison at Crow Wing County Road 26 to north of Garrison at Pike Avenue; includes roundabout at Hwy 18, new storm sewer and sidewalk in Garrison.
Improve access and safety at the intersection with a new roundabout.
Sherburne County to construct a new interchange at Hwy 169 and Co. Rd. 4 between 255th Ave. and 269th Ave. in Zimmerman. This partnership project includes local road and sidewalk improvements.
Improve the four-lane segment of Hwy 210/Washington St. from Baxter Dr. to Pine Shores Rd. in Brainerd, Crow Wing County; includes upgrades to the Mississippi River bridge and sidewalks.
The board meeting that was originally scheduled to be held on March 29, 2026 at 11:00 AM, has been moved to March 22, 2026 at 11:00 AM.
Congratulations to Charlie, Doreen, and Ed on their election to the Board of Directors. Thank you to Sean and Troy for their time and contributions while serving on the Board.
Snow and cold weather came early this year, as such, the septic project will be done in the spring of 2026. The shower house is closed for the season and will not reopen until the septic project is completed. The same for turning water on to the sites.
In other news, you can now submit lot alteration requests online as well as seasonal rental and membership applications.
I hope everyone has a great holiday season and look forward to seeing you all next year.
Jim Apple
President, HLCCA
