Wisconsin DNR Seeking Public Comment on Trail Network Concept Plan at Rib Mountain State Park

Wednesday, February 19th, 2025 -- 9:10 AM

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking public comment on a trail network concept plan at Rib Mountain State Park.

The Greater Wausau Prosperity Partnership, in collaboration with the DNR, has developed a trail network concept plan for Rib Mountain State Park that is consistent with the park’s property master plan.

The trail network plan includes concepts for a multiuse community path, shared use trail, hiking trail refinements, bike-optimized trail, ski area expansion and snowmobile trail realignment. The public can provide feedback on the proposed trail network concept plan through March 2, 2025.

The trail network concept plan and information on how to provide input are available on the Rib Mountain State Park webpage. The department encourages the public to submit feedback using the online public input form.

A hard copy of the trail network concept plan is available to view at the Rib Mountain State Park office and the Marathon County Public Library Headquarters (300 N. First Street, Wausau, WI 54403).

Comment cards are also available at the park office. Please call the park office prior to arrival to ensure the facility is open.

Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
