Gov. Tim Pawlenty announced plans to create a new state park Tuesday — at Lake Vermilion, a popular fishing destination near the Soudan Underground Mine State Park in northeastern Minnesota.The proposal would establish Minnesota's 67th park, setting aside 2,500 acres on land currently owned by U.S. Steel. It needs legislative backing and could cost the state tens of millions of dollars.
The lake abuts the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Superior National Forest.
