District looking for input on improvement to trails at Conkle and Cartwright Mountains

Hikers can look forward to two popular trail networks being improved sometime in the future.

The District of Summerland has begun the process of developing trail plans for both Conkle and Cartwright Mountains.

According to the district, the trail systems are among the most popular outdoor recreation destinations in the community.

While they are well used trails, they have “evolved without the benefit of a master or management plan,” the district added.

The need to make a plan for both trails was identified in the 2019 Trails Master Plan, with the purpose of ensuring the systems stay well managed in a way that is sustainable and environmentally responsible, while also improving visitor safety and experience.

The plans will propose which trails should be designated and for what purposes, where and what types of visitor amenities should be developed, strategies and actions that should be implemented.

The District is seeking public input during the first round of engagement.

There are surveys for both mountains as well as an interactive map where people can post feedback and respond to comments directly on key areas of the mountains.

Initial input is being collected up to September 29.
