ABOUT
THE GREENWAYS & BLUEWAYS PLAN.

Following the completion of the FORWARD Kosciusko County Comprehensive Plan, Kosciusko County formed an official Parks Board and completed a long-range parks master plan in early 2023.

 

The master plan is a high-level guidance document and outlines county-wide goals and action steps to guide the development of parks, open space, and trail development.

 

As the next step in the planning process, the Parks Department is in the process of identifying details and specifics for the various components of the master plan, including pathway connections between the communities of Kosciusko County.

 

The new Greenways and Blueways Plan will refine these connections to defined routes, connections and trailheads. Furthermore, the blueways component of the plan will identify public access locations and possible associations with the trail system.

Plan intentions.

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

This Plan will identify the best ways to create a connected and comprehensive system of 
greenway and blueway trails that enhances the quality of life throughout Kosciusko County. 


When complete, this Plan will serve as a clear guideline for trail planning and development, 
providing a framework for Kosciusko County and local project partners to create a 
connected system of land and water-based trails.

PLANNING PROCESS AND ENGAGEMENT

The plan will be drafted over the course of 9 months. The planning team will be collecting new data about feasible and preferred pathway routes and will be engaging with the community throughout the process. Whenever possible, previous community input will be used to drive the development of the plan.
