In January, 2011 the Arrowhead Regional Development Commission (ARDC) and the Lake Vermilion Resort Association will commence an eight month planning process for the future development of the Lake Vermilion Trail-a trail facility connecting the lake and its residences and businesses to the communities of Cook and Tower. The process will be facilitated by ARDC and will rely on a planning committee for feedback and guidance.

ARDC will work with the local steering committee to form a project vision, identify overall trail purpose, intended allowable uses, and desired connections. Committee members will also have the opportunity to review and comment on maps of the potential trail alignments, trail construction costs estimates, and possibly a trail logo and signage scheme. The planning process is expected to run from January through August of 2011. The first committee meeting will be scheduled for early February, 2011.
