POLK COUNTY, WI -- Polk County is currently seeking public comment on its Outdoor Recreation Plan.
The Outdoor Recreation Plan outlines the county’s outdoor recreation opportunities, trends, maintenance requirements, and more. The county also uses it as a resource for securing grant funds to develop and maintain recreational activities. Updates to the plan happen every five years.
“Outdoor recreation has received renewed attention in the past five years or so,” said Tim Anderson, County Planner. “We’ve seen the development of a Trail Network Plan and numerous projects being identified and implemented, such as an ATV Intensive Use Park, improved mountain biking trails, improvements at DD Kennedy, a new boat launch at Atlas County Park, a new trailhead at the Visitor Center in St. Croix Falls, and more. Now, we are building on this progress to create even better recreational opportunities.”
A draft of the updated Outdoor Recreation Plan will be available on the Polk County website for public comment leading up to a public hearing scheduled for Tuesday, December 3rd at 5:00 pm as part of the Public Safety and Public Works Committee meeting in the County Board Conference Room at the Government Center.
