The Nevada County Planning Department developed a recreational trails master plan to guide the review of discretionary projects in Western Nevada County in order to create a comprehensive, and where possible integrated, regional recreational trails system consistent with Nevada County General Plan Objective 5.6. The plan is intended to be a tool for the Planning Department and decision-makers to work with developers to provide recreational trails consistent with a regional system. The primary components of the plan include a map depicting existing trails and identifying gaps in the regional trail system; goals and policies developed through collaboration and public involvement; design guidelines for trail development; and programs to implement the regional trail system.

A draft of the Western Nevada County Non-Motorized Recreational Trails Master Plan can be downloaded here.
