Conservation areas consist of prairies, lakes, wetlands, woodland areas, natural leaturcs <br />and wildlife habitat. Conservation areas may have passive recreation facilities developed <br />within their boundaries such as hiking and biking trails, picnic areas and wildlife <br />observation. <br />Where appropriate, trails will be developed within these conservation areas for passive use <br />such as nature observation. These nature trails will also be considered for limited <br />cross-country ski trails in winter. Nature observation blinds also may be developed. The <br />development of trails will not consume more than 20% of property. <br />Lake Access <br />1.
