POLK COUNTY -- Polk County is currently in the process of updating 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.”
To help shape the development and decisions of this plan, Polk County encourages feedback and input from the public in the form of an online survey. The survey is available here. This survey will be open to collect feedback from July 19th until August 19th. The results will be used to help guide decision making in the future.
