Thank you for your interest in shaping the future of Scott County Regional Trails.

Scott County is seeking motivated resident-volunteers of all ages, including teens and young adults, to join a Community Design Team that will actively participate in and provide direction on the creation of master plans for two Regional Trail search corridors in Scott County. These corridors include: Louisville Regional Trail (from CH 17 to Louisville Swamp Trailhead) and the Southern Scott Regional Trail (from Cedar Lake Farm to Cleary Lake Regional Park) This Community Design Team will consist of residents with local and regional interests and will work alongside a Technical Design Team, which will consist of various County, City, and other technical staff.

Proper Covid-19 precautionary measures will be in place during the master planning process. Engagement will be a mix of virtual and socially-distanced meetings and on-site activities depending on current restrictions.
