The National Park Service is seeking input on a Trail Management Plan for Crater Lake National Park.

A release said the purpose of the plan is to provide high-quality non-motorized recreational opportunities while preserving park resources. The park proposes to construct trails and change designated uses on some existing trails. The plan is intended to guide trail management over the next 25 years.

A virtual public meeting regarding the plan will be held on October 13th from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. That meeting can be accessed via a link: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/MeetingNotices.cfm?projectID=68775

An online, “Story Map” is available to provide an overview of the draft plan and the corresponding maps: https://www.nps.gov/gis/storymaps/cascade/v1/index.html?appid=40095696331c49acb5926521952dd2fa

Feedback will be accepted through October 21st. Comments can be submitted online: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/document.cfm?parkID=294&projectID=68775&documentID=115340
