This guide has given you advice on how to plan,
design, implement, and market your community's
water trail. Most successful projects get as many
people and partnerships involved as early as
possible to build support and minimize controversies.
Remember the Arrival, Approach and Launch
concept when designing your put-in and take-out
locations so that you can best address all possible
amenities and alternatives. Involve the appropriate
governmental entities early so that permitting and
regulations can be addressed without causing
unnecessary delays. Create an efficient and effective
operation and maintenance plan so the area does not
fall into disarray a few years after construction. Utilize
whatever you can to market your new water trail to
the rest of the state, so that your community can
benefit economically and recreationally. Remember,
you are not alone. Several entities in the state
operate water trails and access points. Do not be
afraid to ask questions and get advice from those
that have already done it early and often.
