Red Lake River Corridor Enhancement Project
Center for Changing Landscapes, University of Minnesota

The Red Lake River Corridor Enhancement Project creates a regional recreational amenity for Northwestern Minnesota in conjunction with the region’s citizens, agencies, and the Red Lake River Joint Powers Board.  The planning focused on integrating six corridor communities into a recreational amenity approach to natural resources management.  The designs celebrate the river corridor’s unique identity across multiple scales and connect the communities to the river and each other in a more powerful and meaningful way.
