Carroll County Conservation has also stressed the importance of taking advantage of grant opportunities for rehabilitation as trail fees alone are not able to keep up with those costs. The Conservation Board has proposed two phases for the project, from Swan Lake to the Houlihan Access and from there as far as the dollars allocated will take them towards Maple River. Funding for the City of Carroll $100,000 match will come from the trail allocations already budgeted, which typically come from Local Option Sales Tax (L.O.S.T.) proceeds. If a grant award is received, it is anticipated the match will need to be paid in 2022 or 2023.
