Blue Mound State Park Survey

Survey done.

Just remember there are many folks out there that believe "silent sports" are the only ones that should be allowed in our state parks. Many folks are fine with sleds going through, but some are not. I often ride on a multiuse trail near my house in a state park, and always slow to a crawl when I come across snowshoers, skiers, and hikers. A big wave and give them plenty of room.

Good conduct always means a lot! Even though today's world may not think so.

This needs to be a Priority for us, even if you don't know where or have any plans on ever riding there.

If this action is taken, it opens the door to a VERY SLIPPERY SLOPE we just can't afford to allow.

Bringing this back up! The second phase of the Blue Mound State Park (BMSP) Master Plan process has now been announced.

The DNR is presenting 4 proposed alternatives for the snowmobile trail in the proposed plan.
Next meeting is scheduled for 11/19, 5:30-7:30. Mt Horeb High School Auditorium. Same place as last time.

General consensus is to select route #2. This route was in a very similar location to the original trail that ran through the park for some 17 years.

For those that cannot attend, please take 1 minute and select Route #2 on the online survey. click this link:

Select "Snowmobiling" as a topic. It will then take you to #17... in which you select "Alternative 2, Service Road Trail". You can then complete the next three questions in your own words.

I want to share some good, positive news here! Snowmobilers came together to make this work!
The club's preferred route was through the old trail location and not on the road ride of way, was added to the proposed Master Plan. Just like we all wanted!

The Wisconsin Natural Resource Board officially approved the Blue Mounds State Park Master Plan today!
If you want to hear the other side's comments, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVBmhSrc7s8
That agenda item is 4K, and can be started at the 3 hour mark. They voted unanimously to accept it at 4 hour mark.
Thanks to all that voted and left comments!!
