We are working to expand safe and convenient walking and bicycling options in Chippewa County. The Plan will identify short- to long-term opportunities to advance active transportation.

We need your help

Help us learn about the way you move today and how we might make walking, biking, and rolling (e.g. other mobility devices like scooters, wheelchairs) a safer, more accessible, and enjoyable option in the future. We look forward to hearing from you!

    • Co-Created, Community-Centered: Residents, stakeholders, and businesses from all communities are actively involved in the decision-making process.
    • Safety: The trail network will be safe for pedestrians and bicyclists.
    • Placemaking: Chippewa County will have a destination trail network that attracts visitors and retains residents to bolster local businesses.
    • Equity: People of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds will be able to comfortably use the trail network.
    • Connectivity: The trail network will connect Chippewa County’s communities and major destinations.
