76 Friends of the Mississippi River Camp Cozy Park NRMP <br />The City of Elk River is considering the possibility of paving some trails to increase park <br />accessibility in the future. If this is done, it is recommended that existing trails are paved rather <br />than creating newly established paved trails that would further fragment habitat. <br /> <br /> Photo 12. Existing trail through the prairie in Unit 1, June 2023. <br />BOAT LAUNCH <br />There is interest in adding a canoe and kayak launch along the Elk River that can be accessed by <br />new a river trail. There is a stretch of rapids just upstream of the Camp Cozy property, and <br />paddlers could use the launch to paddle upstream or as a take-out location before the Orono <br />Dam further downstream. <br />SIGNAGE <br />Signage is needed at the Camp Cozy property to increase accessibility and add recreational <br />value. The community expressed this need, and park users would benefit from both trail and <br />interpretive signage to guide them through the park and provide background information and <br />orientation to the habitats at Camp Cozy.
