LAKE COUNTY – The Konocti Regional Trails (KRT) Web site has undergone some major upgrades to make it more interactive.

The site, located at www.konoctitrails.com , contains information about a countywide effort to develop non-motorized trails on and around Clear Lake in Lake County.

The new Web site has been developed to be more interactive, allowing you to give us feedback on some of the concepts.

New features include:

• Video footage and slide-shows of outdoor recreation in Lake County;

• A calender with upcoming trails events, cleanup days, races, fundraisers, lectures – anything to do with nonmotorized outdoor recreational activities in Lake County (businesses and organizations are welcome to post events);

• Map to public access points on Clear Lake;

• Water trails and current land trail maps;

• Lake levels and weather;

• Press releases and trails updates;

• Results from workshops one and two, and the online survey;

• Details on the five major study areas and conceptual trail ideas developed from the workshops;

• Discussion group, where interested persons can provide feedback/post comments on ideas generated.

The Konocti Regional Trails group is comprised of representatives from various Lake County departments, organizations and volunteers. They need public support and help to make this a reality.

How can you help? Here are some suggestions:

• Provide input on trail concepts and connections in the KRT discussion group;

• Attend meetings, give political support;

• By volunteering to build and/or maintain trails – add your name to the list on the Web site;

• Collect information on potential trail routes by use of GPS and ground-truthing;

• Write up summaries/descriptions of current trails for posting on the Web site;

• Write up grant proposals;

• Network with other groups.
