Sherburne County is an <br />attractive area in which to <br /> live .... <br /> <br />Many people move to Sherburne County to <br />enjoy recreational opportunities of our lakes, <br />woods and parks. Sherburne County's natural <br />beauty and open spaces also draws people <br />from the Twin Cities. Yet ...... for those who enjoy <br />biking, walking, running and inline skating there <br />are few safe areas in which to pursue these <br />activities. <br /> <br />The Sherburne County Rails To Trails Task <br />Force is a subcommittee of the Sherburne <br />County Park Commission. The subcommittee is <br />comprised of a group of local citizens <br />volunteering time to work to develop a trail from <br />Elk River to Princeton. Through this effort it will <br />allow all citizens the opportunity to enjoy the <br />beauty of Sherburne County. <br /> <br />An investment in a county-wide trail system is <br />an investment in our children, our community, <br />our economy and our future. <br /> <br />Riders along a paved section of the Woodland Trails in Elk River. <br /> <br /> BENEFITS OF THIS TRAIL <br /> <br /> ·Economic <br /> · Growth for community <br /> · Growth for tourism <br /> · Healthy exercise <br /> · Safe way for kids to get to school <br /> · Safe way to get to work <br />· Opportunity to meet neighbors <br />·Walking <br />·Bicycling <br />· Roller blading <br />· Roller skiing <br />· Cross country skiing <br />· Provides increased security <br />· Increases property values <br />· Opportunity to observe wildlife <br /> and plant life <br />· Provides habitat for wildlife and plants <br />· Private and Business sponsorship <br />· Close to Sand Dunes State Forest <br />· Promotes safe family activities <br />· Close to Sherburne National <br /> W~ddlife Refuge <br />· Easy access to nearby campgrounds <br /> and lakes <br />· Potential links to other trails <br />· No motorized vehicles <br /> <br />*Cover Photo: Taken at Theodore Worth Park on <br />Saturday May 13th 2000.
