Anglers with disabilities soon will have an easier time fishing at Kingsbury Fish & Wildlife Area in LaPorte thanks to plans for an accessible pier.

The new fishing pier on Tamarack Lake will meet requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act. It will replace a 32-year-old fishing pier.

Property staff recently removed the old pier. Installation of the new pier is expected to start early next week, and will take about a week to complete.

The boat launch will remain open, but will be closed at times to allow for installation of the new pier as materials arrive.
