Cable Connector Trail Environmental Assessment
The National Park Service at St. Croix National Scenic Riverway is seeking public comments on a draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for a proposed trail connection in the Town of Cable in Bayfield County, Wisconsin.
The 0.25-mile natural surface, multi-use trail connection would be built from the end of a segment of the Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association's Wild River Trail on an abandoned railroad grade, across NPS land, and then connecting to Parker Road. The proposed trail will be open for hiking, trail running, and mountain bike and electronic-assist bike (e-bike) use in the summer, and silent sports such as fat-tire bicycling, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing in the winter. Pending completion of the NPS Bicycle Rule process, it would be the first trail at the Riverway open to bike use and would also facilitate the use of non-National Park Service trails nearby.
Public engagement is vital to the success of the planning process for the trail. "The National Park Service values input on the proposed trail and comments will help guide decisions for high quality visitor experiences while protecting Riverway resources," said Julie Galonska, St. Croix National Scenic Riverway superintendent.
Beginning September 22, the draft EA will be available and comments can be submitted online through the NPS Planning, Environment & Public Comment (PEPC) website. Comments may also be mailed to:
