These Public Use Areas will be available for the public to enjoy from dawn to dusk. We do not propose any lighting of these areas except as deemed necessary for public safety. We have recently carved out a Neighborhood Equestrian Park in keeping with Plymouth's rural character and included a public riding arena that may also be scheduled for other sporting events like sand volleyball. Viewing and picnic areas are proposed around the arena and pond.

The Woodlands, Wetlands, Hwy 49 Scenic Corridor Areas and natural landscape areas along the Trails, will remain in natural landscape and be available for passive public use. In or around the natural landscape areas, interpretive signs and observation blinds will be designed to provide users with information about and places to observe the varying habitat's flora and fauna. The Wetlands Area may be restricted to only observation due to its special characteristics. Interpretive signage will also include information about the rich history of Amador County's Ranching, Native American and Gold Rush Era cultures.

Based on the very recent underground piping of the Amador Canal, Plymouth Rock Partners have been advised that if they wish to modify the Plymouth Ditch, they will be required to photo-document the roughly 3/4 mile Plymouth Ditch with archival quality black/white photographs. In addition, further research shall be conducted by a professionally qualified historian with the goal of the production of a professional quality publication that documents and partially preserves the memory of the Plymouth Ditch. These measures will allow for the underground piping/replacement of the open canal and development of a public trail/maintenance road. This effort may become the trailhead and model for the "Arroyo Ditch Runs Through Us" future trail system and long sought after City of Plymouth piped-water delivery system.
