Bicycles rest against the trailhead monument at Slater while riders cool off in the shade.Story County Conservation (SCC) is pleased to announce several public meetings to gather input on an update to its Trails Master Plan. Meeting information is as follows:

These public meetings will serve as the kick-off for the trail planning process and provide opportunities for community members to contribute their ideas, concerns, and suggestions regarding the county's trail system. Residents, outdoor enthusiasts, stakeholders, and anyone interested in the development of the trail system in Story County are encouraged to attend and participate in discussion.

SCC is committed to enhancing outdoor recreational opportunities for residents and visitors, and the development of a comprehensive trail plan is a critical step in achieving this goal. The trail plan will outline strategies for the creation, improvement, and maintenance of trails throughout the county, catering to a variety of recreational activities such as hiking, biking, birding, and more.

These meetings will follow an "open-house" or "drop in" style, with no formal program. Participants can come and go as they please to share thoughts and ideas. County officials and representatives from the planning team will be present to answer questions and provide information about the planning process.

Survey for those unable to attend in person

Your feedback is important! If you are unable to attend in person, please share your input using our online survey.


SCC encourages all interested individuals to participate. Together, we can create a vibrant and accessible trail network that enhances the quality of life for all residents!
