RICE CREEK NORTH REGIONAL TRAIL MASTER PLAN | 52 <br />With the development of multi-season trailhead facility and outdoor recreation area there is a greatly expanded <br />opportunity for the county to provide additional programming available to the public. Various programs are <br />proposed to be implemented to compliment and showcase the facility including: <br />• Free or discounted recreation equipment rentals to introduce people to various new sports such as off- <br />road cycling, cross country skiing, canoeing and kayaking <br />• Summer and winter recreation events, similar to the pilot program introduced in Keller Regional Park, could <br />be held free of charge to attract new visitors to the trail. <br />• The nature center and programming areas could be used to hold classes and events for school or <br />community groups <br />• In addition recreation equipment rental could host free days or a trial period to interested individuals <br />before committing investing both time and money into a new sport. <br />Ramsey County should further explore the creation of an ambassador program for Rice Creek North Regional <br />Trail. Creating a group(s) of individuals invested in the park and expanding the user base would only increase <br />the level of safety and welcoming nature of the trail.
