Welcome to the official site for the Jackson County Water Trails Master Plan.  The Master Plan will present a vision for the future of river recreation in Jackson County, and will recommend actions that can be taken to make that vision a reality.

Jackson County residents and river users will shape the plan.  The planning process will provide an opportunity for the entire community to be involved in creating the plan.

This page is the online home for the plan. The site provides project information and resources, progress updates, and meeting notices.  The site also includes a “Your Ideas” page where you can tell us what you want the future of Water Trails in Jackson County to look like.

Check back often for project updates and to learn about how to get involved.
