BOSTON TWP.: A section of the Lake Trail that crosses the dam at the Virginia Kendall Lake in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park is closed through Memorial Day.
The closing is required so contractor N-Powell Co. Inc. can repair the earthen dam, which was topped by a flood in 2003.
The work will require extensive tree removal and excavations on one side of the dam to widen the emergency spillway.
The dam, built in the 1930s, is 25 feet high and 565 feet long.
The remainder of the Lake Trail, including a temporary detour connection to the Salt Run Trail, will remain open.
Two sections covering nearly 30 percent of the 12-acre lake will also be dredged this summer.
The dam work and the dredging will cost about $500,000, park officials said.
