95_North-South_Grnwy_7.18.06_p4-33 Chapter Four Trail System Plan
New Scandia Township
Comprehensive Parks, Trails, Open Space and Recreation Plan 4-33
Adopted 18 July 2006
Washington Greenway
North- south collector trail of Washington
County Linear Park System Plan
Route:
This trail would intersect Washington Parkway,
improving bicycle access to county, state and
local parks and trails. This greenway extends
north-south through New Scandia Township
along its eastern edge from Chisago County to
the community of Marine-On-St. Croix.
Status:
Proposed.
Issues:
• Separated state trail east of State Highway 95 is currently in disrepair and ends abruptly at State
Highway 97
• Corridor is located along St. Croix Scenic Byway, part of National Scenic Byway system
Opportunities:
• Washington County has identified the Washington north- south Greenway to include two six- to eight-
foot paved shoulders for bicycling and one detached paved path for bicycling and inline skating
• Emmons & Oliver study recommends reuse of this corridor as potential location for Gateway Trail
extension
• Opportunity for collaboration between state, county and township
Length: 6 ½ +/- Miles
