Title

Sugarloaf Ridge State Park Preliminary General Plan

Description

Park improvements are identified in the General Plan's goals nd guidelines, including protection of water quality, provision of primitive campsites, protection of large expanses of preserved wildland areas, and development of key trail connections linking the broader and newly expanded areas of the Park. Constrution of a trailhead and parking lot at an abandoned quarry site would also support public access into the newly acquired Nunns Canyon property. The hub of visitor-serving facilities would remain in Adobe Canyon and limited expansion of facilities in this area is recommended. Expansion of the visitor center and the Robert Ferguson Observatory would allow for improved interpretation opportunities. Relocating the large group camp away from the observatory would resolve existing light conflicts between the two uses. Re-development of a small equesrian group campground with corrals is proposed near the stable concession. Moderate expansion of the family campground and picnic facilities would also help meet some of the expected increase in visitor demand.
