hey j. rosonke not to step on your toes but i hunt with a few dnr state officers and they have told me themselves that most state funded trails in state parks come from fishing and hunting fees as well as habitat fees to better the experience for all in the outdoors. hiking trails, bike trails are counted under law as paths to lakes and other parts of the parks they are in. and the iowa dnr and park employees maintain the paths and bike trails and they are paid by funds from our fishing license and hunting licenses as well as fines some pay for breaking rules. what it boils down to is we as fishers and hunters pay for cyclist to have nice trails to ride on and most dont pay a cent to have them. thats why we sportsmen are up in arms on the subject.

Perkey one your reg on your camper currently is for road use, not camping. I'm talking about a little sticker on your camper like I have on my boat. I have to license my boat trailer for the road also, hense two registration fees.
where do you think the funds for reap come from?
I emailed the DNR about the Sustainable funding bill. I asked, if that passes will we still have to pay for resident fishing and hunting licenses?
Costs go up
comet trail in grundy county
In 2007, the Tama County Conservation Board acquired the railroad right of way from Gladbrook to AA Avenue (with a slight detour), and named it the Wolf Creek Trail.
Federal Highway funds were used to finance construction of thetrail.
The Comet Trail was acquired using county funds, the development was done using acombination of county funds and a state Recreation Tourism & Leisure grantprogram that was relatively short-lived.
flyfishr you might be on to something there cuz you have to register boats, cars, 4 wheelers, mopeds, snomobiles and motorcyles, even paddle boats so why not a bicycle? the fees from people registering them and any fines for not registering them can pay for bike trails. in minnesota snow mobiles that ride on the bike trails have to buy a permit to do so but cyclist dont pay to ride them and down here your not even allowed to ride snowmobiles up and down bike trails. maybe they should let sledders use them in the winter and pay a permit fee and that would help funding.
On a second question, who pays the most for a residential fishing license? Just kind of a curiousity question.
