System Plan Considerations Affecting Your Community <br />The following Regional Parks and Trails System Components within Hugo are identified in the 2050 <br />Regional Parks and Trails Policy Plan: <br />Regional Trails <br />• Hardwood Creek Regional Trail: This is an existing regional trail that is open to the public. The <br />regional trail travels through Hugo and Forest Lake as it connects the Bruce Vento Regional <br />Trail, Glacial Hills Regional Trail Search Corridor and Sunrise Prairie Trail in Chisago County, <br />as well as Bald Eagle-Otter Lake Regional Park. The regional trail alignment as shown in Figure <br />2 should be acknowledged in the comprehensive plan. <br />• Glacial Hills Regional Trail Search Corridor: The regional trail search corridor travels through <br />Hugo, May Township, and Marine on St. Croix as it connects Harwood Creek Regional Trail, <br />Central Greenway Regional Trail Search Corridor, and Big Marine Park Reserve. Washington <br />County will lead a planning process in the future to determine the alignment of the regional trail. <br />When preparing its comprehensive plan, Hugo should verify whether a long-range plan has <br />been approved by the Metropolitan Council. If a long-range plan has been approved, the <br />planned regional trail alignment should be acknowledged in the comprehensive plan. Otherwise, <br />the general search corridor as shown in Figure 2 should be acknowledged in the comprehensive <br />plan. <br /> <br />Please contact Washington County for more information regarding Regional Parks and Trails System <br />Components in Hugo. <br /> <br />State or Federal Lands in Your Community <br />State and federal park and open space units that provide outdoor recreation opportunities and natural <br />resource conservation for the public complement the Regional Parks and Trails System and are <br />recognized in the 2050 Regional Parks and Trails Policy Plan.
