Upper Rock Creek Area Master Plan

Approved and Adopted, April 2004

“Almost one-quarter — more than 4,000 acres — of the Upper Rock Creek watershed is parkland. …A primary goal of this Plan is to protect environmental resources and maintain stream quality by keeping streams, forest and wetlands in a natural state. …Of equal importance is preserving residential character.”
