The proposed route connects eight cities and two counties, passing by the Oregon coastline, fisheries, farmland and the Oregon Coast Range. Explore more information about the Salmonberry Trail.  The Salmonberry Trail Council was established to promote and facilitate coordinated direction and guidance in the planning, development and maintenance of the multi-use trail. The council represents a new governance structure replacing the Salmonberry Trail intergovernmental Agency. The council is an advisory committee to the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which assumed the lease and federal railbank agreement for the trail from STIA.  The council shares the same membership as STIA and serves the same executive-level collaborative leadership function, while serving as an advisory committee to OPRD.  To submit public comment for council members to review during the meeting, use the public comment form or email [email protected].
