Craig White
General Manager
So at this time of year we are
usually coming out of a deep
freeze with the air temperature
warming and the snow melting.
Not so much this year, we have
had a few rough days but not
too many. It has been a little
rough on our contractors
because of the mild winter. Their
expectations were to have the
opportunity to work with frozen
ground. So with the mild winter
has caused them to work in mud,
which in turn has caused some
areas to look not so appealing.
The contractors have done a
good job keeping the park
roads clean from the mud when
they could. We appreciate
your patience through this
construction season. We also
would like your continued
support by staying away
from those areas that are
considered active work zones.
Those two areas are at the
end of cabin road for the
tree house village and base
camp where the aerial
adventure park is being built.
So as the snow melts away
we will continue to work to
keep the park clean and your
experience an enjoyable
one. On another note,
because of the mild winter,
during these days of 60
degree temperatures we
have seen new people,
couples and pets enjoying the
park. As we are generally
stuck in our homes during the
winter months we want to get
out and stretch our legs so to
speak and get some fresh air.
We hope that you have
enjoyed walking through our
beautiful park and ask that if
you have questions regarding
the park you stop in the office
at the banquet hall and
speak to our friendly staff.
They can assist you with
navigating through the park
easier by explaining how our
trail system is labeled for
your enjoyment. Three of our
trail heads begin by the
office and they are the only
working restrooms until the
cold season is over. So we
want you to explore the park
when you step outside this
spring, we ask that you keep
yourself and your loved ones
safe by staying away from
the active work zones.
Something to keep in mind
when you take that first walk
for the season, bring a bottle
of water with you and stay
hydrated. Thank you for
visiting Grand Vue Park, we
look forward to seeing all of
you this season and
remember Wild and
Wonderful Starts Here! Keep
