The Division of Utah State Parks and Recreation has developed and is seeking public comment through Jan. 10, 2010, on a draft strategic plan for its statewide boating program. The plan is located for review online at: stateparks.utah.gov/planning. Hard copies can be reviewed at the State Parks Office at 1594 W. North Temple, suite 116 in Salt Lake City.
The boating program provides funding and other support for boating opportunities found throughout the state. The draft plan identifies issues relating to boating facilities, opportunities and management in Utah and will make recommendations to guide program managers for the next 10 years.
The planning team consisted of enthusiasts from the various types of boating recreation, boating program managers, facility managers, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, State Division of Wildlife Resources and other agencies.
