The construction of the Lake Marion Greenway project is a joint partnership between the City and Dakota County. The project includes trail connectivity construction and improvements from downtown Lakeville to Ritter Farm Park. Once completed, the greenway will travel 20 miles through Burnsville, Credit River Township, Farmington, Lakeville and Savage. Planning of the greenway began in 2013 with Dakota County completing a master plan for the project. A feasibility study was completed in 2019.
Phase I of the project includes trail connectivity construction and new trail construction in downtown Lakeville and end with a new trailhead located at Ritter Farm Park. More information on the project timeline and construction status can be found by visiting the Lake Marion Greenway Project webpage.
