This area of the park is dominated by a large wetland complex which conveys the water from the City's lakes to Rice Creek. The concept plan provides for five trail heads into the park. Those trailheads are: Lake Johanna Beach; Lake Johanna recreation area (north of Lake Johanna Boulevard); Hudson Road; Ramsey County Library; and Mounds View High School. . --.--,
