All state trails, like the Military Ridge, Elroy-Sparta, Badger Trail, Glacial Drumlin, 400, etc are technically part of the state park system. Now Walker wants to make the parks self-supporting.

Does Walker have any idea how important healthy and attractive parks are to the economy of many communities? I once asked a small grocery store off the Red Cedar River Trail (between Menomonie and the Chippewa River) how much of their business came from the trail. They said in season, about 30 percent!
