Chub And Trout Lake
Chub Pond and Trout Lake in principle should be relatively easy to access, they as they are just a little ways from the put in used to access Good Luck Lake. Unfortunately, the West Branch of the Sacanadaga River has numerous strainers and down trees, and streams that flow out out of both Chub Pond and Trout Lake are narrow, shallow, and often impassable in times of low water. They also are very marshy along the shoreline, which can make it challenging to portage around the shallow water.
Oleshky Sands National Nature Park
Oleshky Sands National Nature Park is a national park of Ukraine, located south of the lower Dnieper River about 25 km east of the regional city of Kherson, and 70 km northwest of the Crimean Peninsula. The park features expanses of low-fertility soil and sand, and a variety of unusual microhabitats. The landscape is quite varied, with sandy-steppe, semi-arid steppe, meadows, reed beds, and forest stands. The dunes of the Radensk sector are interspersed with patches of shrubs, lakes and birch groves (12% of the area).
Woodward Lake
Woodward Lake is a Marginal Tract for Residential Development: The Woodward Lake site is a marginal tract for residential development. It is characterized by poor soils, extensive streams and wetlands, and steep slopes, all of which are inappropriate for residential development.
The developer claims that it will somehow extinguish 34 principal building rights, 12 on Resource Management lands and 22 in Rural Use, while pursuing a permit for 36 principal buildings. This statement is inaccurate. There are no “development rights” under the APA Act. The zoning densities that the developer used are the maximum mathematically available under the APA Land Use and Development Plan (LUDP). Under the LUDP the allowable principal buildings are not automatically assigned to a parcel of land. The total number of buildings authorized reflects the number allowable after a comprehensive APA review. Far from “extinguishing” development rights, the developer is seeking approval at a level of development beyond what is appropriate for this tract.
This 1,169 acre tract has a number of features, such as a large waterbody, wetlands, streams and steep slopes, which the APA has always considered constraints on development. An analysis that removed all of the undevelopable land from the tract found that 129 acres of Woodward Lake, 159.56 acres wetlands, 9.18 miles of streams, which with 50-foot-wide protected buffers total 55.64 acres, 450 acres of lands with steep slopes of 15% or greater, totaling more than half of this tract. This means that over half of this tract is land unsuitable for development. Much the remaining lands are not much better. This magnifies the problems with this tract and shows that the vast majority of the Woodward Lake development site is not suitable for development. The reality is that this tract can support residential development only at a level far less than the 36 principal building rights sought by the developer.
Big Alderbed Lake Trail
There is an old snowmobile trail/woods road by the Powley Place Bridge, that extends 2.5 miles west to Big Alderbed, that takes you to a wire crossing over the East Branch. The trail follows the East Branch for a short distance, then heads back into an interesting Old Growth Forest with a lot of big trails. To reach Big Alderbed -- which is largely drained wetland due to a failed dam -- you have to bushwhack along the stream to the mouth of the wetland.
