A provision o t is law addresses the need for a State Trail system to be a inistered by the Department of Natural Resourcces (DNR1 . hese state trails are to be purchased and maintained for h ki g , running, walking and biking as an opportunity for r si ents to enjoy outdoor life in Minnesota. As part of this mission, the D R has acquired and begun development of the Minnesota-W s onsin Boundary State Trail , a 235-mile recreational faclity t etching from Oakdale to Duluth. During the 1988 legis 'a ive session, this trail was renamed the Munger Trail in ho 0 of the environmental achievements of State Represen a ive Willard Munger. The original Boundary Trail (M n er Trail ) Master Plan made a reference to the desirability f extending the Boundary Trail into Saint Paul. IThe DNR subs q ently acquired a 7 . 86 mile abandoned railroad grade which c nnects the Oakdale end of the Munger Trail to the center of a' nt Paul. This acquisition is referred to as the Boundary Tr i ' s "Gateway Segment. " The Gateway Segment begins near th ' ntersection of Maryland Avenue and I-35E in Saint Paul a d extends northeasterly through Maplewood and North Sa'n Paul , connecting with the Munger Trail at I-694 in Oakda e. A DI�R study noted that the Gat w y Segment "represents an � excellent opportunity to bring t o quality State Trail recreational opportunities clo e to home for half of the state ' s population. " It furt r noted that "DNR reserach shows that facilities such as h Gateway Segment are in high demand. " However, to date, t tate has not appropriated funds to develop this trail . Status Representative Dick Kostohryz ha introduced H. F. 287 which would appropriate $2 . 5 millio t the DNR for development of the Gateway Segment of the Wi 1a d Munger Trail .
