The City of Ramsey has begun developing a <br />trail system along Trott Brook. <br /> <br />Ramsey has proposed that the Trott Brook Corridor be an "east/west multi-use <br />trail route" (City of Ramsey Zoning Ordinance). The following paragraph comes from <br />the Ramsey Comprehensive Parks and Open Space Plan adopted in May, 1991: <br /> <br />Trott Brook, running about eight miles easterly from Elk River to the Rum <br />River, is proposed as one in which a minimum of 100 feet of good usable <br />land be protected or acquired on each side of the Brook for its entire <br />length. This is a great natural feature of Ramsey and should not be <br />exploited by developers or others, but preserved for all the residents to <br />use. The trails would support hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing, <br />with a separated treadway for snowmobiling. In addition, the trails would <br />be a spine, enabling the connection of several park sites and connections <br />to other trails, thus helping to create a true park system. <br />
