Hwy X Sturgeon Trail Project
Completed 2020
A major habitat project to benefit Lake Sturgeon spawning areas was completed in 2020. The area along the Wolf River known as the Sturgeon Trail, County Rd X west of New London, is the site of this habitat improvement project. The rock along this bank was smaller than optimal size and has sloughed down the bank over the years due to gravity and current flows from the river. Approximately 1500 feet of river bank was re-rocked with 12-24" stone. Major sponsors of this project are WI DNR, Shadows on the Wolf, Sturgeon for Tomorrow and Waupaca County Parks. Corporate players involved in facilitating this project include: Wisconsin Interstate Contracting, Lunda Construction, Ort Trucking, Storm Equipment, and MCC.
