The Blue Mound State Park Master Plan was approved by the Natural Resources Board on May 26, 2021. Since the date of that approval the snowmobile trail authorized in the plan has been legally challenged. The result of this challenge is ongoing, and thus the snowmobile trail cannot be developed at this time. All other portions of the plan can be implemented as approved and described.
