Friends of the Riverfront and our consultants from Environmental Planning and Design and Cycle Forward recently created a water trail management plan that our organization will use as we work toward the future development of the water trail system. The management plan focuses on management recommendations, site assessment, system promotion, and expansion.

The plan has been completed and is linked below.

Questions about the plan can be directed to Katie Craig at Katherine@friendsoftheriverfront.org
