2001 Comprehensive Plan <br />Amended February 26, 2002 <br /> <br />U.S. Highway 10, (an alternate State Great River Road) and the railroad separate <br />most of Ramsey from the Mississippi River. Except for the flat terrace along <br />Highway 10, the presence of the Mississippi River is not obvious. The Wayside <br />Rest State Park (Daytonport), an undeveloped Mississippi West County Park, and <br />a planned (and partially built) River Corridor Trail are Ramsey's links to the <br />mighty river. The stretch of the Mississippi River through Ramsey is within the <br />Critical Area Corridor for the Mississippi River and is part of the Mississippi <br />National River & Recreation Area (MNRRA). This stretch of the Mississippi <br />River is also designated as "recreational" under the Wild and Scenic River's Act. <br />The Wayside Rest State Park has facilities for camping, drinking water, and <br />canoe launching along the Mississippi River. <br /> <br />Surrounded by many wetlands, Trott Brook creates a large natural corridor across <br />the northern part of Ramsey, stretching from the western border east to the Rum <br />River. While Trott Brook has been ditched to relieve residents of water problems, <br />it remains relatively undeveloped along its banks. Other ditches create waterway <br />corridors through northern Ramsey connecting a series of wetlands that drain east <br />into the Rum River. These ditches form the backbone of the sub-watersheds in <br />Ramsey. <br /> <br />Figure III-5 Trott Brook Corridor <br /> <br />2001 Ramsey Comprehensive Plan <br />Amended February 26, 2002 <br /> <br />Page 111-6 <br /> <br /> <br />
