does not appear to be feasible to extend a snowmobile trail directly east from~tat-e tighway #47 <br />towards the Rum River, but rather allow State Highway #47 to provide for that access in <br />north/south travel at this point. <br /> <br />Thc other uses of thc multi-purpose trail system would go east from State Highway #47 along thc <br />creek and then north towards County Road #27 through the Riverwood Hills Park and then east to <br />County Road #7, approximately one-quarter mile north of the bridge on the Rum River. At this <br />point, users would be able to enter Anoka County's Central Rum River Regional Park with similar <br /> <br />trail destinations and amenities. The snowmobile portion equates to . miles. The <br /> <br />Trott Brook Trail, in total, equals over miles, not including various trail links. <br /> <br />When all land is acquired for the Trott Brook Trail, the average trail corridor width will be in <br />excess of 200 feet. <br /> <br />LAKE ITASCA TRAIL SYSTEM <br /> <br />The Lake Itasca trail, for purposes of description, begins at Lake Itasca Park north of I53rd <br />Avenue N.W. and east of Lake Itasca itself. The trail corridors will be primarily 75 feet wide and <br />typical of the multi-purpose distinction. This includes an eight or ten foot bituminous path for <br />bikes, pedestrians and wheeled sport use and a paralleling path approximately ten feet wide of <br />primitive construction. This path would be for equestrian use and cross country skiing in the <br />winter. The Lake Itasca Park contains natural wetland areas from former Whispering Pine Park <br />and other neighborhood park amenities like playground equipment and athletic fields. Immediately <br />north of this park is a one-acre trailhead abutting Okapi Street N.W. At this point, the trail <br />overlooks Lake Itasca. Moving north is a 170 foot boardwalk, a wetland and approximately one- <br />half mile of mature oak woods to the opening at 160th Lane N.W. Traveling north from 160th <br />Lane N.W., a trail user will go between two small constructed ponds, enter another one-half mile <br />of oak woods and emerge at 162nd Lane N.W. The trail corridor is then open field until it reaches <br />the limits of the Northfork subdivision on the south side of a large wetland and route for the Trott <br /> <br /> <br />
