Executive Summary The focus of this nation’s surface transportation program for many years has been the development of highway system for the efficient movement of goods and people. Our highways offer unprecedented mobility benefits, but increasing concerns about air quality, open space, and traffic congestion led Congress to create several new programs over the past ten years. These programs broaden the Federal focus on transportation from much more than just building highways to funding tied to planning requirements aimed at promoting a transportation system to meet a greater range of mobility needs, to ensure that communities are more sustainable. One key concept established in previous federal initiatives have carried forward to the concept of multi-modal transportation planning and safety. This plan will focus on the development of bike and pedestrian segments of the region’s transportation system. Trails development in RPA 17 has followed patterns of increasing development, similar to those in the rest of the U.S. While there has been a general increase in trails construction, some areas have been more active and more successful than in others. This is also the case in RPA 17 where some several counties have had success in trail development. Appanoose County made great achievements in trail development due to the construction of Honey Creek Resort on Lake Rathbun State Park. Chariton Valley Transportation Planning Affiliation prepared a trails plan in 2000 to provide goals for trail programs in the seven county areas. This trails plan was the product of an extensive stakeholder and public participation process that brought focus groups together in Chariton, Centerville, and Osceola on numerous occasions to identify the demand for trails and potential trail projects. During that time, the state had placed emphasis on the development and connection to Level 1 trails. Iowa’s new approach in 2017 is to refocus efforts and funding for connections and accessibility to rural trails. These changes and time has caused this document to surpass its usefulness and needed replaced. The State of Iowa has released the draft 2017 “Statewide Transportation Plan – Iowa in Motion”. This plan adjusts the prioritization of funding for trails. More emphasis will be placed on improving trail access and regional connectivity versus reaching Level 1 trails out to other rural trails. This will be beneficial to RPA 17 because there are no level 1 trails in our region. There are a multitude of smaller trails available in the Chariton Valley Transportation Planning Affiliation Region that would be considered Level 2 or Level 3 in significance. Resident’s most commonly think of the 22 hiking trails scattered throughout the region, however, there are other opportunities as well. One water trail and one snowmobile trail are located in Appanoose County; one snowmobile trail and one equestrian trail is available in Lucas County and one equestrian trail is available in Decatur County. “Water Trails are recreational corridors and routes on rivers and lakes that provide a unique experience all water users. Water trails help re-connect Iowans to their waterways’ history, heritage, geology, fisheries, and wildlife. Water trails provide adequate access and can include amenities like riverside camping, wild spaces, picnic areas, and restrooms, and watercraft rentals provided by local, state, and federal partners. Water trail partners at the local level are encouraged to steward the natural and economic values of their waterways to help boost local economies and give Iowans outdoor experiences just out their back doors. Iowa DNR water trails staff lead through setting standards for planning requirements, providing funding and technical assistance, and maintaining the framework of the overall system.” (http://www.iowadnr.gov/Things-to-Do/Canoeing-Kayaking/Water-Trails). The only proposed water trail 4 | P a g e development in CVTPA region will be along the Des Moines River in the northeast tip of Davis County in 2018. Equestrian (horse) activities and facilities are available in three locations throughout RPA 17: Nine Eagles State Park, Stephens State Forest and McGowen Recreational Area. This public land provides trails that accommodate horseback riders to opportunity to witness the beauty of southcentral Iowa. The purpose of the Iowa State Snowmobile Association works “to stimulate and advance the general welfare and safety of winter sports enthusiasts; to provide a medium for the exchange of snowmobiling; to serve the interests of snowmobile owners in the state of Iowa; to information; and to perform all desirable and lawful functions for the successful operation of the association and in the general public interest.” The Rathbun Snowmobile Trail is supported by the ISSA and maintained by a local committee in Appanoose County. Red Haw Lake in Lucas County offers snowmobiling along the east and south side of the lake. It is maintained by the local conservation board. 3. Introduction This document was prepared by Chariton Valley Planning & Development Council of Governments for Iowa Department of Transportation for Regional Planning Affiliation 17 (RPA 17). This plan will replace the original Trails Plan that was created in 2000. The 2017 Regional Trails Plan will be

We promote camping and the outdoor experience. We are a regular part of the BSA's camping program. We participate at both the Troop and Council levels. We are guided by the principles of Cheerful Service. This guide is an example of that cheerful service. Purpose of the Order of the Arrow 1. To recognize the campers - Scouts and Scouters - who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives and by such recognition, cause other campers to conduct themselves in such manner to warrant recognition. 2. To develop and maintain camping traditions and spirit. 3. To promote scout camping, which reaches its greatest effectiveness as part of the Unit? Camping program, to help the District and Council camping program both year around and in the Summer Camp, as directed by the Camping Committee and the Council. 4. To crystalize the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership in cheerful service to others. History Dr. E. Urner Goodman and Carroll A. Edson founded the Order of the Arrow in 1915 at the Treasure Island Camp of the Philadelphia Council, Boy Scouts of America. It became an official program experiment in 1922 and was approved as part of the Scouting program in 1934. In 1948, the Order of the arrow, recognized as the Boy Scouts of America's national brotherhood of honored campers, became an official part of the camping program of the Boy Scouts of America.
