Canton OKs a plan to preserve Rough Creek
THURSDAY, 29 JUNE 2006
A trail system for Hiking and Mountain Biking in Rough Creek Wilderness Preserve was approved during a recent Canton alderman meeting.
A professional trail designer will develop the new trails which are for hiking and mountain use only so that it will remain sustainable and maintainable. There are about 10 miles of combined hiking and bicycling trails, with about two miles of that being for hiking use only.
A consultant for the town of Canton said that certain critical habitat protection zones will be reserved for natural heritage research and learning, for Rough Creek is the highest, most pristine water quality classification a watershed can receive.
