re 5.3 Sienature Park Conceot: Woodland Trails <br />Develop trailheads with <br />resting areas, wayfinding, <br />and information along the <br />Great Northern Trail. <br />Incorporate the Big Tooth Ridge <br />Parkland and the Great Northern Trail <br />connection into Woodland Trails <br />C.J•' <br />a <br />a <br />Develop trailheads <br />with resting areas, <br />information and <br />information along the <br />Great Northern Trail <br />Woodland Trails <br />Improvements to Woodland Trails will include construction of a small building that will act as a warming <br />house and a location for environmental programs, and a maintenance and storage facility for park equipment. <br />Improved wayfinding at the entrance will welcome regional users arriving from Elk Lake Road or the Great <br />Northern Trail. The park will formally incorporate Big Tooth Ridge, a park that has functioned as an <br />extension of Woodland Trails. As mining gets closer to the park, invasive species removal and prevention <br />continues, and tree diseases are combated, the park needs an in -depth natural resources and forestry plan. <br />After mining concludes, consider integrating additional parkland, a lake feature at the southern end of the <br />mining district, and greenways connecting from future neighborhoods to the park. <br />With Woodland Trails' unique recreation offerings, significant size, regional trail access, and habitat as part of <br />a bigger unique ecosystem, it is a strong candidate for regional park status. <br />41 City of Elk River- Parks and Recreation Master Plan Draft 11 .25.1 4 <br />
