The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking public comment on a plan for trails at Rib Mountain State Park.
The Greater Wausau Prosperity Partnership, in collaboration with the DNR, has developed a trail network concept plan for Rib Mountain State Park. The trail network plan includes concepts for a multiuse community path, shared use trail, hiking trail refinements, bike-optimized trail, ski area expansion and snowmobile trail realignment.
The public can provide feedback on the proposed trail network concept plan through March 2. The trail network concept plan and information on how to provide input are available at https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/ribmt.
The department encourages the public to submit feedback using the online public input form at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PGBFDTR. Additionally, one public informational meeting will be held Feb. 13 at Northcentral Technical College’s Professional Conference Center in Wausau.
This informational meeting will run from 6-7 p.m. and will include a presentation from department staff starting at 6 p.m. Doors to the venue will open at 5:45 p.m. Staff will present a brief property history and share the trail concept plan in more detail.
A hard copy of the trail network concept plan is available to view at the Rib Mountain State Park office and the Marathon County Public Library Headquarters, 300 N. First St., Wausau.
Comment cards are also available at the park office. Call the park office prior to arrival to ensure the facility is open.
