St Louis River Alliance hosting winter safety event at Munger Landing

DULUTH, Minn.– A place that was once inhabitable for wildlife and recreation is now hosting a day of fun, safety, and learning.

It will take place February 7th at Munger Landing, from 12-2 PM, will be a day dedicated to ice safety.

The DNR alongside the St Louis River Alliance will educate attendees on surveying ice thickness, as well as rescuing yourself and others.

Seeing the hard work to restore the river pay off, one of the organizers said, it means a lot.

“I think with the river getting cleaner, more and more people are coming out and like any new hobby, if it’s something you haven’t done a lot, you don’t always know all of the ins and outs of what is safe,” said Alyssa Johnson, Program Manager, St. Louis River Alliance.

The event will also cater to the sweet tooth crowd by offering smores with a bonfire.

Organizers are also encouraging attendees to bring a friend or two.
