Federal, State and Regional Park, Trail & Open Space Facilities Federal and State Facilities Soberg Waterfowl Production Area: This 113-acre wildlife refuge area is located in Dakota and Scott Counties. The waterfowl production area is open to public fishing and hunting and provides the local communities the opportunity to participate in wildlifedependent recreation and environmental education. These opportunities are available through non-motorized access within the production area including hiking, snowshoeing, skiing, or where appropriate, biking on established trails. Minnesota Zoological Gardens: Located in Apple Valley, the Minnesota Zoo is one of two regional zoo facilities in the Metropolitan Area. Widely recognized for its creative, ever-changing exhibits and collection of animals, the zoo also provides nature interpretation, picnicking, and cross-country skiing. Regional Parks & Open Space Map 10 shows all recreational facilities in communities abutting Lakeville and in the Dakota County region. The following paragraphs provide a summary of each of the four (4) regional park facilities that provide recreational opportunities for Lakeville residents: Cleary Lake, Murphy-Hanrehan, Lebanon Hills and Dakota County/Empire Township. Cleary Lake Regional Park: This park is operated by the Three Rivers Park District and is located in Credit River Township, Scott County. Boat access for canoeing and sailing is provided. The park also has a par-3 golf course and driving range, a 28-acre off-leash dog park and several large camp sites. Other facilities include bike, pedestrian and horseback trails, nature interpretation, picnicking and swimming. Winter activities include cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snow shoeing. Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve: Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve is approximately 2,400 acres in area and is located in Savage and Credit River Township, contiguous to Lakeville’s western boundary. The park reserve, owned and operated by the Three Rivers Park District, has trail facilities for hiking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and snow shoeing. The park also has a concrete boat launch with access to Murphy Lake for non-gas motor boats or non-motorized boats. In 2004, the park was designated as an "Important Bird Area" by the National Audubon Society due to its extensive undeveloped and wooded areas. Lebanon Hills Regional Park: This facility is operated by the Dakota County Parks Department and is located in portions of Eagan and Apple Valley. The regional park provides canoeing, camping, fishing, hiking, horseback riding, nature interpretation, picnicking and swimming.
