Trail proposed along Pelican River

RHINELANDER - There could be a new trail running along Pelican River. The plan is to have the river trail run from the Chamber of Commerce out to the new boat landing. It'll travel up the Pelican River and connect the hotels along Kemp Street.

"Historically, the city has kind of viewed this river as an industrial river," said Rhinelander City Council Member Alex Young. "In the last few years, there's been a push to take advantage of the more recreational and aesthetic aspects of the river rather than the industrial aspects."

The proposed trail will run about a mile. The city council will pay about $130,000 for the project. The rest will be funded by grants.
