Project Background This trails concept plan provides guidance and recommendations for developing a comprehensive trail network at the Powers Bluff County Park in Wood County, 2.5 miles southwest of Arpin, Wisconsin. This trail system will capitalize on the growing demand in the Midwest region for trails that are optimized for mountain biking. It will serve the needs of all recreation users by adding upon the existing Powers Bluff Trail network with new multi-use trails and the creation of bike- optimized trails for all ages and ability levels. Master Planning for Powers Bluff County Park (PB) has been ongoing since 2003, and was revitalized when Wood County acquired 223 acres of property directly north of the existing park. Since that time, planning has been done to include a multi-use shelter building, fishing pond, ice skating rink, northern entrance road with parking lots, improvements to the existing ski/tubing infrastructure, additional trail development, and support facilities.
