Polk County Plan Promotes Platte River Trail Project
Polk County Centennial Committee outlines a Platte River Trail project to link rural and urban roads through the county for tourism, picnicking and camping. The route runs from a Highway 30A turnoff near Swedenberg hill to Kozy Korners on Highway 81 with marked signs and designated river access points. The effort, led by Robert Bryan, E. Ekstrand and Raymond Burke, seeks landowner cooperation, public access, cleanup by volunteers, spray for poison ivy, and county funding consideration in 1965 and 1966.
