We have reached the stage where we need your support. Donations at this phase will help fund the feasibility study that is essential to determining the trail route around the lake.
This study will evaluate factors such as drainage, topography, county rights-of-way, safety, and other key considerations to ensure a complete trail system can be developed around the entire lake.
Once the feasibility study is completed, we will be eligible to pursue larger grant opportunities to help fund the construction of the trail system.
