Management of these fisheries is confounded by numerous factors, including diverse stakeholder interests, socioeconomic conflicts, watershed land use, flood control, novel food web interactions, habitat alterations, and degraded water quality (Willis 1986; Stein et al. 1995; Miranda and DeVries 1996; Allen et al. 2008). One of the most obvious challenges to managing reservoir fisheries is fish escapement over spillways and through water release structures that may result in substantial loss of populations (Lewis et al. 1968; Navarro and Cauley 1993; Paller et al. 2006). Yet, little is known regarding escapement rates of reservoir fishes, factors influencing escapement, impacts of escapement on fish populations, or management options for reducing escapement.

However, the Project will cross a federally designated trail, state and county forests, county parks, state WMAs and AMAs, state-designated trails, designated scenic byways, and state-designated water trails as discussed in the following subsections. 11.1.1 Federally Designated Recreation Areas and Trails The preferred route will not cross federal recreation areas. However, the North Country Trail, a National Scenic Trail, will be crossed at MP 417.6 in Hubbard County. NDPC initiated consultation with NPS and the North Country Trail Association regarding this crossing. Because the trail is on county-owned land, NDPC will also consult with Hubbard County to minimize impacts on the trail. As discussed in Section 9.2, the preferred route will cross four Minnesota rivers that are listed on the NRI. These rivers are the Red Lake River (MP 305.7 and 325.7) in Polk County, the Clearwater River (MP 388.3) in Clearwater County, the Moose River (MP 511.4, MP 512.6, MP 513.5 and MP 513.8) in Cass and Aitkin counties, and the Willow River in Aitkin County (MP 531.2). None of these are federally designated as National Wild and Scenic River.

State Forest Recreation Areas Minnesota's 56 state forests contain over 3.2 million acres of state owned lands which are administered by the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry. State forest lands are managed to produce timber and other forest crops, provide outdoor recreation, protect watershed, and perpetuate rare and distinctive species of flora and fauna. State forests are multiple use areas that are managed to provide a sustained yield of renewable resources, while maintaining or improving the quality of the forest. Minnesota's state forests provide unlimited opportunities for outdoor recreationists to pursue a variety of outdoor activities. Berry picking, mushroom hunting, wildflower identification, nature photography and hunting are just a few of the unstructured outdoor activities which can be accommodated in state forests. For people who prefer a more structured form of recreation, Minnesota's state forests contain over 50 campgrounds, most located on lakes or canoe routes. State forest campgrounds are of the primitive type designed to furnish only the basic needs of individuals who camp for the enjoyment of the outdoors. Each campsite consists of a cleared area, fireplace and table. In addition, pit toilets, garbage cans and drinking water may be provided.
