Trail Talk-August
“What do you want Delta Junction to look like in 10-15 years?”
Delta Junction Trails Association is in the process of drafting the Delta Junction Trail Plan and would like the public to comment on a collection of prospective projects in which the community shows interest.
We asked the community where they wanted to hike, ski, ride, and pedal. The list below shows the results. Be a part of what’s happening in Delta Junction.
