Topic Questions: |
1. What types of opportunities should the park's land trail system provide more of for the public? |
2. How do you feel about multi-use trails in the park (i.e. equestrians, hikers, and mountain bikers sharing the same trails)? What tools could we use to address potential conflict between different user groups? |
3. We will be analyzing the existing network of designated trails, unauthorized/user-created trails, and potential new trail alignments within the National Riverways. What factors should we consider as we update the network of park trails and consider where new trails might go? |
4. We will be evaluating existing roads in the Riverways to determine the best road network for the future. We want to provide a road network that allows for adequate visitor access while also protecting the natural and cultural resources of the park. What factors do you think we should consider as we evaluate the existing road network? |
5. Are there other considerations we should think about as we examine the park's road and trail system? |
