Circumnavigating Dillon Reservoir entirely by paved pathway may be in the future as Friends of the Swan Mountain Recpath are launching an effort raise funds for the project.
Local governments have already put aside $1.2 million for the project, but the first two of four phases will require an additional $2.65 million in private and foundation funds.
The Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) has printed 2,000 booklets it will send out over the next few weeks to raise money for the Swan Mountain Recpath project.
"We're hoping that everyone who enjoys using the path will step up, help out and spread the word," said Liz Finn, assistant executive director of NWCCOG.
Summit County government enlisted the fundraising assistance of NWCCOG to make the path over Swan Mountain between Farmer's Korner and Summit Cove a reality.
A volunteer citizens group, "Friends of the Swan Mountain Recpath," will bring the project out in the community.
Contributions to the Swan Mountain Recpath project are tax-exempt and may be sent to NWCCOG Foundation, P.O. Box 2308, Silverthorne, CO, 80498. More information about the project is available at http://www.swanmountainrecpath.com/.
