Fishers Peak State Park Management Plan

CPW is currently seeking public input to inform the Fishers Peak State Park Management Plan through December 13th. See below for how to get engaged.

Development of the first State Park Management Plan for Fishers Peak State Park is currently underway! The upcoming Fishers Peak State Park Management Plan will build on previous planning efforts and will serve as an overarching management guide for the park by outlining short- and long-term visitor, recreation, resource, and infrastructure management visions for the park. It will chart the management priorities and specific management directions for current and future park staff over the next ten years.

The completed plan will:

• Serve as a policy document and point of reference for current and future park staff, other partnering agencies, elected officials, and interested members of the public.
• Help inform future use and development and visitor recreation experiences.
• Guide management of existing natural and cultural resources.
• Provide a framework for monitoring and maintaining state park resources.
• Identify park enhancement opportunities, including possible facility upgrades, new park facilities, restoration and rehabilitation projects, and other important management initiatives.
• Help inform future budget allocations and annual funding requests.

How to Learn More and Share Input

CPW staff are seeking input from park users, local residents, and the wider public to learn more about how visitors currently use the park and their ideas for the future of this new State Park.

Public feedback to inform this plan is being collected through December 13th, 2024 using the feedback form below.

CPW is also holding two public meetings to provide information about the planning process and learn more about the public’s perception of the park.
