Kingsbury Creek as it runs through the Lake Superior Zoo was damaged in the 2012 flood. Efforts to restore the compromised creek walls were put on hold until the City Administration had a firm plan for re-visioning the Zoo. The City will work with the DNR and the Zoological Society to rebuild the damaged creek while improving fish habitat and mitigating future flood damage.
