Master PlanWakulla County is creating a Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Blueways Master Plan and would like your input. This Master Plan aims to connect and promote a system of walking, cycling, and paddling trails within the County through various projects and policies.

This Master Plan will include all aspects involved in the process, including signage, wayfinding, and connections to counties surrounding Wakulla. This system of walking, cycling, and paddling trails will offer the County a unique opportunity to market itself as a premier ecotourism hub, and will provide residents and visitors easy access to safe recreational opportunities. This master plan will also use the natural resources of the County to improve the quality of life for residents, improve mobility, and provide opportunities for economic development.

At the completion of the Master Plan, Wakulla County will have an implementation-ready plan that will promote bicycle, pedestrian, and blueway facilities, enhance their connections and promote recreational opportunities in the County.
