Allowing cycling on trails in Giant City and Trail of Tears State Parks

The Issue

Public State Parks should attempt to maximize their use by constituents seeking healthy outdoor recreation, and they should be assets for the development of tourism to the areas where they are situated.  Incorporating cycling into the trail use plans of Giant City and Trail of Tears State Parks would benefit Illinois citizens who engage in this healthy activity, and it would stimulate tourism to our region--particularly in the winter months when off-road cycling is popular. Cycling should be allowed on all sections of the Southern Illinois River to River Trail, and should be incorporated into the trail use plans of Giant City and Trail of Tears State Parks.
