- Site for harvesting firewood for Rice Creek campground <br /> Issues and Opportunities(site, building and operations): <br /> Site— <br /> Need to improve the visitor entry experience and the pre-school drop off(long walk to the building). <br /> Need for more outdoor storage capacity and better access to recreation equipment—canoes, kayaks, <br /> snow shoes,etc. <br /> High levels of use in some areas wear out the turf. <br /> Trail connections are needed to the YMCA and better connections are needed to the main portion of <br /> Rice Creek Park. <br /> Need a forest management plan to address Emerald Ash Borer in Green Ash,thinning of existing pine <br /> plantings, management of the Maple Basswood forest and establishment of a working forest to supply <br /> firewood for the campground.There is an interpretive opportunity with the working forest. <br /> There is lots of bounce (up and down fluctuations)in the water level of the lake which makes dock <br /> access difficult at times.The dock area also becomes hard to find when out on the take and a bottleneck <br /> when returning to shore.A floating dock hasn't worked in the past—research new methods and <br /> alternatives for water access. <br /> Desire to develop a water trail between Wargo and the campground. A canoe landing is needed at the <br /> campground. <br /> Need more things for children to do. <br /> Group program use is limited by the entry road which inhibits groups walking along the road (safety <br /> issue). A trail separated from the road is needed, at least to access the prairie area. <br /> Take more advantage and better reflect the water based nature of the park through programs,displays <br /> and facilities. <br /> Better awareness and connections between Wargo and Rice Creek Park and Chamonix Golf Course <br /> clubhouse. <br /> Deer management program could be an interpretive opportunity(deer exclosures, etc.). <br /> There is a lack of accessible trails at Wargo. Trail to the dock should be accessible. The trail to the dock <br /> is also the"driveway'for trailer access to move canoes and kayaks to and from the water's edge. Look <br /> at alternative materials(permeable pavers,flagstone)for accessible trails rather than bituminous <br /> surface. <br /> 2 <br /> Wargo Nature Center Master Plan—Jan.23,2014 kick off meeting summary <br />
