t erv i tte 1880 Main Street • Centerville, MN 55038 Established 1857 (651) 429 - 3232 to fax (651) 429 - 8629 November 10, 1999 City of Hugo 5524 Upper 146 Street Hugo, MN 55038 Re: Future Trails The City of Centerville is seeking information or ideas for future or existing trails in the surrounding area. Please provide a contact person, if possible, or inform the City of Centerville about any information or other sources of information you may have regarding trails in your area. In particular, the City of Centerville is interested in planning a trail system that connects to the Anoka County Regional Parks Chain of Lakes in two ways and connects to the trail that goes through Hugo. Note that there are plans to develop an extensive trail system in the Anoka County Park Chain of Lakes and that these trails will connect to a number of communities and their trails. Hugo Trail Connection Possibilities The City of Centerville would like to investigate possibilities in connecting its community with the Chain of Lakes Park and the trail in Hugo. A trail connecting Hugo to the Chain of Lakes Park looks like a win for Hugo, a win for Centerville, and a win for the Chain of Lakes Park. The Hugo trail looks to be an interesting destination as this trail may extend some distance (Duluth to St. Paul perhaps), and the Chain of Lakes Park looks to be an interesting destination as there are resources such as the Wargo Nature Center, swimming beach, and other activities. Anoka County Chain of Lakes Park Possibilities The City of Centerville has already determined how it will connect to the Chain of Lakes trail system on the southeast side of Centerville Lake through its own LaMotte Park. This connection hooks to other trails in the park that circle half of Centerville Lake. An idea for the future would provide for circling the rest of Centerville Lake, allowing a trail all around the lake. Other Possibilities There may be plans or ideas on other trails in the surrounding area unknown to the City of Centerville. This is the information the City is also trying to collect to try to plan for the best possible future of all the people and communities involved.
