The county board finally confirmed the trail will be open to equines. I am exhausted by the long road it took to get here but I am deeply grateful to the 174 people who stuck by me. Let us just keep a close watch to ensure the implementation actually follows …

A draft released on the use of the Stower Seven Lakes State Trail (SSLST) is promoting mixed uses. Toole Design, who drafted the plan, shared the overarching goal is to offer as many recreational opportunities as possible while maintaining each participant’s ability to successfully engage in their activity.
The unveiling of Toole Design’s Draft Plan review regarding the SSLT was slated to take place at the Environmental Committee meeting Jan. 22. Toole Design has rescheduled for Feb. 12, but their review was made available for viewing on Polk County’s website.
At the June 18, 2019 meeting of the Polk County board of supervisors, Resolution 25-19 was adopted to authorize the continuation of the trail master planning process for the SSLST. In September 2019, Toole Design was hired as a consultant to assist county staff in the development of this master plan.

The bureaucratic delays are exhausting but I am still reading through the consultant draft to find every opening for our argument. This is going to be a long fight against the current plan and I am not walking away from it yet.

Horse enthusiasts are being squeezed out of many trail opportunities. Please open your beautiful County to those of us that enjoy the outdoors with our horses and friends. Thank You!
By allowing multi-use that includes horseback riding you will be bringing more economy into a rural area. Horses are compatible with many other recreational users, please include horseback riding on the Stower Seven Lakes State Trail.
The horse industry represents a 122 billion dollar industry over the United States. Wisconsin needs to recognize that equines and horse riders are a huge part of the economy and have equal rights to access of our Public Lands. ~ Lisa Docter Back Country Horsemen of Wisconsin BCH-WI Pres., BCHA National Delegate.
In a time when it is becoming more and more dangerous to ride along a road due to increased distracted driving, this trail offers a safe alternative for horse and riders to enjoy this recreation that benefits us in so many ways. Please allow use of this trail to equestrians.
The Stower Trail would be a beautiful place to ride. We are for a shared trail with horses, not a completely separate trail
Open the trail to horse too
Need more safe equestrian trails in Wisconsin! This will help!
