Nancy Lake State Recreational Area Management Planning |
|
|
|
The Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation (DPOR), has initiated a planning process to revise the Nancy Lake State Recreation Area Management Plan. The master plan sets forth management guidelines and makes recommendations for the development of recreation facilities within the park. The intent of this planning effort is to address many of the issues that affect park management, access, waterbody structures, and recreational use.
 Much has happened since the last plan was finalized in 1983. As the populations of the Matanuska Valley and Anchorage continue to rise, the use of these valuable park lands increases as well. Development of private land on lakes adjacent to and within the park has resulted in increased use and impacts of park resources. As more remote parcels are developed, there is pressure to provide access to private lands. The number of docks and other structures within the waterbodies of the park has also risen dramatically since the 1983 plan. In addition to addressing these issues the plan will allow DPOR to identify opportunities to enhance recreation through rehabilitation of existing trails and facilities, new trail and facility development, or by identifying new opportunities for recreation and access. Public involvement is essential to insure that future actions present a shared vision for the future of Nancy Lake State Recreation Area. You are invited to become part of this planning effort by assisting us in identifying the range of issues that should be addressed during this effort and later by reviewing and commenting on draft documents.
