Finding of No Significant Impact-Blue Hills Trail Re-Route Environmental Assessment

The National Park Service (NPS) has completed a comprehensive analysis of a proposal to re-route the Ice Age National Scenic Trail (NST) in Rusk County, Wisconsin. The purpose of this project is to re-route the Ice Age NST to better access the unique geologic and glacial features in the Rusk County Forest (Forest) and meet the goals of the 1983 Ice Age National Scenic Trail Comprehensive Management Plan (Comp Plan).
The impacts of the proposed action were analyzed in the Environmental Assessment (EA), which was open for public comment from April 12 to May 30, 2024. A press release was issued on April 8, 2024, announcing that the EA would be available for public review and inviting comments online through the NPS Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) system or by U.S. mail. A summary of public comments and responses to substantive comments are described in Attachment A.
