Minnesota State Parks and Trails System Plan I TABLE of CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AUGUST 2015 Updated February 2019 FORWARD: 2019 UPDATE AND SUPPLEMENTAL GUIDANCE The Parks and Trails Division developed supplemental guidance for implementing the Parks and Trails System Plan in 2018. While the system plan continues to provide high level strategic guidance, the supplemental guidance provides more specific operational direction to help staff apply the system plan at a local level. Four workgroups, composed of parks and trails staff and managers, developed guidance for state parks, state trails, forest recreation areas and water recreation. The workgroups addressed how to apply the system plan to acquisition and development, operations and maintenance, and partnerships, among other pressing topics. Staff reviewed the guidance at regional meetings and the documents were finalized in 2019. Since the workgroups each focused on specific issues pertinent to the state park, state trail, forest recreation area and water recreation systems, each supplemental guidance document relates to the system plan differently. State Parks and Recreation Areas The guidance for state parks and recreation areas supplements the system plan by providing more detailed descriptions of the investment groups. The enhanced descriptions include examples of how the investment groups should influence decisions about investing in day use and overnight facilities, trails, interpretive services and resource management. The guidance also provides direction for defining and utilizing the unit’s “niche” to help shape these decisions. State Trails The state trail workgroup developed a new framework to better communicate priorities across primary and secondary corridors. The state trails chapter of this document was revised to reflect how this new direction will applied to acquisition and development, rehabilitation, operations and maintenance, trailheads and orientation and interpretation. Guidance for state trails includes vision for how the DNR would like partners to support state trails into the future. Forest Recreation The forest recreation area workgroup provided supplementary information by clarifying management practices that apply across all forest recreation areas. The guidance provides additional information about working with partners and management considerations associated with unique recreational activities. Water Recreation Water recreation guidance supplements the system plan with refined investment criteria and expectations for working with partners. The guidance provides frameworks for classifying public water access sites and designating “highlighted” water trail segments.

  • The Mythologizing of the Great Lakes Whaleback
    VERNACULAR IN CURVES: THE MYTHOLOGIZING OF THE GREAT LAKES WHALEBACK by Joseph Thaddeus Lengieza April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Bradley Rodgers Major Department: Maritime Studies, History The “whaleback” type of bulk commodity freighter, indigenous to the Great Lakes of North America at the end of the nineteenth century, has engendered much notice for its novel appearance; however, this appearance masks the essential vernacularity of the vessel. Comparative disposition analysis reveals that whalebacks experienced longevity comparable to contemporary Great Lakes freighter of similar construction material and size, implying that popular narrative overstates whaleback abnormality. Market and social forces which contributed to the rise and fall of the whaleback type are explored.

A line of the shore, including islands was used as a zero depth contour. In areas with multiple channels around islands or areas with extensive backwaters, such as above French Rapids, depths outside of the main channel thalweg are most likely erroneous and should not be relied upon.
