Badger Lake Trail Loop
An agreement with the Iowa Department of Transportation signed by supervisors confirmed the receipt of $700,000 in federal funding for the Badger Lake Trail Loop at John F. Kennedy Memorial Park.
“This is just the paperwork process for the loop,” said Matt Cosgrove, director of Webster County Conservation. “We received transportation enhancement dollars for this. This just says we’ll follow the guidelines to receive those funds.”
The feasibility study for the trail was approved by supervisors nearly a year ago.
