The Upper Iowa River which the trail follows part of its way through Lake Louise State Park overflowed just enough to allow carp to swim on the trail as these pictures show. However, there was no damage to the trail, just a bit of mud and debris which have been cleaned up already. The trail is in full use again. All scheduled events are still on target.
