Trail Planning Project

Mica Peak Conservation Area recently received grant funding for non-motorized recreation!

The project will produce a trail plan for the Mica Peak Conservation Area that will layout a sustainable, multiple-use trail system, establish recreation management policies, locate and design trail signage, create needed design plans, and obtain all necessary permitting to create a “shovel-ready” project.

Work is scheduled to be underway this year and you can help by submitting your trail data here: www.micapeaktrailplan.com
