 The
purpose of the Recreation Committee is to encourage public involvement
in expanding recreation opportunities in Jackson State Forest. The
Recreation Committee is working closely with the staff of JDSF.
At previous
meetings, cyclists, equestrians, hikers, off-highway vehicle users,
and shooters presented
their ideas and
priorities. A joint effort is underway to create an inventory of
popular trails in the forest.

an inventory of trails, discussing how to add supporting information to
the trail map that has been created.
