Comprehensive Recreation Trails Plan and Trail Proposals
In February, 2012, the Crow Wing County Board approved the Crow Wing County Comprehensive Recreation Trails Plan. The plan addressed existing and proposed recreation trails that serve a full range of motorized and non-motorized uses, including ATV routes, equestrian trails, biking, hiking, dog-sledding, skiing, snowmobiling, and other trail based recreation types.
The Plan established a consistent five step planning process for the proposal and development of recreation trails. The process provides for public consultation and formal approval from the County Board.
