Public meeting to be held Nov. 12
GREEN BAY – The public will have an opportunity to make suggestions for improvements or changes they would like to see in the management of High Cliff State Park at a public meeting that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has planned to begin the process of revising the master plan for the park.
High Cliff State Park is located on the shores of Lake Winnebago in the Town of Harrison, adjacent to the Village of Sherwood in Calumet County. Established in 1954 by the Wisconsin Conservation Commission and opened in 1956, the 1,146–acre park currently serves about 800,000 visitors and 10,300 campers annually.
The public meeting and open forum will be held on Wednesday, November 12 from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Sherwood Village Community Center, W489 Clifton Road, Sherwood. DNR staff will present information, answer questions, and receive comments about possible master plan revisions for High Cliff. A short presentation will be made with time for questions and answers. DNR specialists will remain to talk with anyone who wishes, on a one-to-one basis. Maps and charts used in the formal presentation will be available for viewing and reference.
The last master plan for the park was approved in 1982 and has guided the management and development of the park for the past 26 years.
“During that time most of the master plan’s major development objectives have been achieved,” says Jason Wiese, High Cliff State Park manager. “Now there is an opportunity to build on the successes of the past and make improvements for the future by revising and updating the master plan for High Cliff State Park.”
