Olmsted County Trails Master Plan Survey

Help us shape the future of trails in Olmsted County:

Olmsted County is developing a county-wide Trails Master Plan to guide the future growth of trails throughout the county. This plan will establish a long-term vision for creating a connected, sustainable trail network.

Project Vision: Create a cohesive, sustainable trail system that enhances, recreation, mobility, and quality of life for residents and visitors throughout Olmsted County

Community input is a critical first step in this process. Your feedback will help shape a trail system that connects people to parks, natural resources, and communities across Olmsted County. The input gathered through this survey will be used to develop a draft Trails Master Plan, which will be shared for additional public review and feedback in spring 2027.
