ARDC Planning and the North Country Trail Association (NCTA) are asking for comments on possible new routes for the NCNST in northeastern Minnesota. ARDC Planning and the NCTA have been working together to narrow down possible Trail routes for the realignment of the Trail in the “Big Gap” area near Grand Rapids and Ely. Find more info on the project and an interactive map at ardcplanning.org/nct.

You’re invited to a public review meeting on Thursday, March 10 at 4:00 p.m. at the Breitung Community Center in Soudan. We will present an overview of the project and possible Trail corridors in the area around Tower. Participants will be invited to share their ideas on the potential corridors. Project information and maps can be viewed at ardcplanning.org/nct. Please RSVP to Josh Bergstad at jbergstad@ardc.org.

The NCTA is also looking for local volunteers to help develop the NCNST in the immediate area. Volunteers are the lifeblood of the Trail as they build, maintain, promote, and protect the Trail across eight states. More information on volunteering will be available at the meeting.
