The Rice Creek Watershed District continues to perform maintenance and channel <br />meandering/restoration projects in this area. <br />Forest Restoration Areas (Includes Upland Wooded Areas) <br />Restoration is currently ongoing in these areas of the Southern section of the Rice Creek Regional Trail Corridor. Upland mesic and oak woods are undergoing invasive <br />plant removal most notably buckthorn. Cross country ski trails are managed and maintained by Irondale High School under an existing agreement. Expansion of this <br />system could be considered in the future. <br />Upland Wooded Areas <br />The upland areas of the park are dominated by mixed woods and oak forests. The mixed woods are predominantly aspen trees which helps to drown out sounds of <br />cars in areas beyond the park making for an enjoyable experience. There are many footpaths interspersed between the main trail and lowlands showing that passive <br />recreation activities such as cross country skiing, trail running and mountain biking may be considered for some areas of the park. <br />Carp Management & Water Trail Portage <br />RCWD is partnering with the University of Minnesota and a private company, Carp Solutions, LLC, to study the behavior and movements of carp throughout the <br />watershed. During feeding, carp stir up sediment on the bottom of lakes, decreasing water clarity and freeing up excess nutrients that feed algae growth. A carp <br />management electronic barrier has been installed across the channel requiring watercraft to portage around this segment of the water trail. <br />Old Field Areas <br />Undeveloped and mostly non-maintained areas of the park that have not been restored as any part of natural resource management. Dependant upon topography, <br />location, access etc. these sites may be good candidates for passive recreation development or restoration as a part of the county natural resource management <br />program. <br />Carp Management & Water Trail Portage Site <br />2015 Habitat Restoration Sites
