ST. PAUL, MN (USACE) – The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), St. Paul District, will delay the opening of campground facilities at Lake Ashtabula due to snow pack into late April and continued cold weather forecasts for the next 10 days.

Campgrounds were scheduled to open May 1, but snow pack is preventing access to most of the camping facilities. Campgrounds affected include East Ashtabula Crossing, West Ashtabula Crossing, Eggert’s Landing and Mel Rieman Recreation Area.

The Corps’ current plan is to open these facilities on May 12, but that date may change depending on future weather conditions.

For further information on the camping/recreation situation at Lake Ashtabula please contact the Corps of Engineers local office at (701) 845-2970.
