for the handicapped. <br />;.; <br />A group tent .camping area would be located on a plateau overlooking the <br />south end 'of Rush Lake and .the nature center. The supervised groups using <br />the camping area will participate in resource. management and skill develop- <br />- rnent programs directly associated ~~~ith the nature center facility. <br />`The Long Lake segment would emphasize swimming, canoe rental and picnic <br />opportunities of different magnitude. The swimming beach which would be <br />serviced by a mutt i-purpose refectory building (bath-house,refreshment <br />concession, canoe .rental. concession, toilets) will serve as the .focal point. <br />for several picnic areas, <br />The picnic areas would include: 1) a large group area (company picnics <br />- pavilion, ball field, childrens' play area), 2) small group areas (scattered <br />shelters, childrens' play area, open play field), 3) family picnic areas <br />(scattered individual tables and grills), and 4) blanket picnic areas (no <br />formal facilities other than grassy clearings). <br />A bicycle path would traverse the site and connect the various activity <br />.areas. It would also connect with the proposed renional recreation bikeway <br />'system on Long Lake Road and Old Highway ~. The bikeway corridor will also <br />provide for hiking grad cross country skiing. <br />The south end of the lake (the present beach) is the logical <br />location for.-.the boat access. The New Brighton City Council will <br />have to determine the type and amount of access desired and/or lake ~ <br />surface use regulations. <br />
