Comment on the Preliminary Park Master Plan for Northerly Park!
Based on the public input so far, two preliminary master plans have been developed for your review and comment.
Both plans include many of the same elements, including a viewing tower, natural hiking and cross-country ski trails, natural playground, fishing trawler, feldspar mining cart, paved parking lot, Fort St. Charles fencing and turrets, historical interpretative signage, vaulted toilet, and information kiosk.
However, Master Plan 1 and Master Plan 2 do have some differences, and we would like to know what you like about each plan or what you would like to see changes for each plan. Also, please let us know which plan you like the best or any other comments overall.
Master Plan 1 Features
- Boardwalk and floating dock area out to the lake
- Picnic area near viewing tower
- Paved hiking trail around entire site
Master Plan 2 Features
- Boat launch and dock area
- Paved hiking trail only on south end of property
- New welcome center/border call area
- Community pavilion

JB says:
This park needs a public boat launch with dock to provide access to our public waters, rather than having to pay a resort to access them.

I like the new building and bathroom at Jim's corner. But I'm sure it's been covered but who is going to maintain all this?

I know it is a wetland, but I’d like to see some campsites, a biking trail, small playground for kids, and a room in the VC rentable.

We absolutely need a public boat launch area at the Northwest Angle. The Northerly Park would be a great place for this

Plaque or signage inside the building explaining history of the Angle. Add facts, when the first road was completed, electricity, etc.

I like the ideas of the picnic birding bike path observation deck. Maybe an area for Horsefly rides!?
