BEMIDJI 鈥� Lake Bemidji State Park reopened for day-use and camping at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 27, and music programs will go on as planned Saturday and Sunday.
The park had been closed since June 21 when storms that included hurricane-grade winds hit the area. It suffered significant storm damage to infrastructure, resources and services.

Most park trails will be closed indefinitely to allow for hazard removal. Park officials said they hope to reopen access to the Bog Walk Trail sometime next week.
The fishing pier remains closed and access into and out of the boat launch/marina is blocked. Boaters should plan for an alternate location. The closest access to the lake is at the Northwoods boat ramp on Bemidji Avenue North.
Meanwhile, park visitors and the public can attend two Music Under the Pines concerts this weekend in the park鈥檚 amphitheater. The Bemidji Brass Quintet will perform at 7 p.m. on Saturday. The group includes Kyle Reiss and Craig Swartz on trumpet, Eve Sumsky on French horn, Alyssa Konecne on trombone, and Steve Radley on bass trombone. Chris Konecne will accompany the quintet on drums.
Dean and Peggy Ellingson are scheduled to perform at 2 p.m. on Sunday.
