The Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway Committee is working on an update of the Gunflint Trail National Scenic Byway Corridor Management Plan.  The purpose of the update will be to acknowledge changes that have occurred since the 2008 plan such as the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway’s designation as a National Scenic Byway and also to evaluate the progress of goals and strategies identified in the previous plan.

Public input is being requested through participation in the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway Survey, which asks participants for their input on aspects of the Corridor Management Plan, specifically what they feel are the strengths, weakness, and opportunities of the Gunflint Trail.  The survey will be distributed to members of the Gunflint Trail community and will also be made available at http://www.visitcookcounty.com/communities/gunflint-trail/.  The survey will be open through October 23rd.

For further information on the Gunflint Trail Scenic Byway Survey, please contact Ryan Miller, Associate Planner at (218) 529-7552 or [email protected].
