Anglers looking for shore fishing spots can enjoy four upgraded piers in Northern Minnesota this summer.
The improved piers are located at the Cuyuna Country State Recreation Area, Little Emily Lake, Wakemup Bay on Lake Vermilion near Cook and Munger Landing in Duluth.
The Department of Natural Resources said in a news release it is also close to finishing upgrades to the fishing pier on Sand Lake near Warba. Full installation of the improved pier is scheduled for June.
The DNR maintains more than 200 accessible fishing piers throughout the state.
The upgraded piers are funded by a one-time investment of $150 million called Get Out MORE, or Modernize Outdoor Recreation Experiences.
