Canoe trail

Post by bigredmed »

Have it on good authority that the Game and Parks commission is going to build a canoe lauch at Platte River SP with recovery at Louisville Lakes rec area.   Also told that this would be connected into the existing Platte and Elkhorn river canoe trails.  Beginner canoe and Kayaking next summer at Platte River SP.  

Have also heard that they will use a beach along Salt Creek to launch canoes to allow for intermediate skill runs.  

Lastly, I heard a rumor that a 250 yd centerfire rifle range is planned for Two Rivers SP.  

All to open 2013.
