Aitkin County Land Department receives Mississippi Headwaters Board funding for recreational site

Mississippi Headwaters Board

The Aitkin County Land Department requested funding from the Mississippi Headwaters Board (MHB) to move two campsites at Jacobson Campground away from a
deteriorating bank of the Mississippi River.
Aitkin County Land Commissioner Dennis Thompson said, “Mother nature has taken control of the shoreline.” He said his department looked at fixing
the erosion, but determined it was not feasible.
The Mississippi Headwaters Board stepped up to fund the relocation of the two campsites and is donating $10,500.
