The Greater Wausau Prosperity Partnership, in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, has developed a trail concept plan for Rib Mountain State Park that is consistent with the park’s property master plan. The trail 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 document outlining the proposed trail concept plan can be found in the Concept Design Story Map:
Public Engagement Opportunity
The department encourages the public to submit feedback using the online public input survey after reviewing the trail network concept plan document. Additionally, one public informational meeting will be held in Wausau on Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025 at Northcentral Technical College.
