Dickenson County Seeks Public Input on Future of Outdoor Recreation

Dickenson County residents have an opportunity to help shape the future of outdoor recreation through the Gateways to Adventure initiative, a regional planning effort focused on expanding outdoor recreation opportunities in Dickenson and Buchanan counties.

As part of the initiative, residents, outdoor enthusiasts, business owners, and visitors are encouraged to complete a survey to help identify recreational interests, opportunities for improvement, and priorities for future development.

The information collected will help guide the creation of an outdoor recreation master plan, identifying opportunities to enhance existing recreational assets, develop new experiences, attract visitors, and support economic growth throughout the region.

Community participation is essential to ensuring the plan reflects the interests and needs of those who live, work, and recreate in the region. As an added incentive, survey participants can enter for a chance to win a two-night cabin stay at Breaks Interstate Park or four elk viewing tour tickets.

Residents are encouraged to scan the QR code on the accompanying flyer to complete the survey.

Whether you enjoy outdoor adventures regularly or simply have ideas about what you would like to see in the future, your input matters. Help us build on the natural beauty and recreational opportunities that make Dickenson County a great place to live, work, and visit!

Your perspective matters, and your honest feedback will help create a better understanding of our region's needs and opportunities. There are no right or wrong answers, and we encourage you to share your experiences openly.

The survey should take approximately 7-10 minutes to complete. Participation is voluntary.

As our Dickenson County RAFT project is coming to a close, the work to strengthen our communities is just beginning!

Through a multi-year process led by UVA Wise’s Office of Community and Economic Development, Dickenson and Carroll Counties worked alongside local leaders, residents, and regional partners to evaluate community resilience and identify opportunities for long-term growth. Together, participants explored environmental, social, and economic challenges and developed strategies to help build stronger, more resilient communities.

For Dickenson County, this process helped bring forward six key initiatives focused on addressing local needs and creating opportunities for the future:

🔹 Ordinance Committee – Exploring local policies and ordinances that support community goals.

🔹 Community Navigator – Connecting residents with resources, services, and opportunities.

🔹 Commercial Kitchen Feasibility – Exploring opportunities for a shared commercial kitchen to support local food businesses and entrepreneurs.

🔹 Hidden Gems – Identifying and highlighting the unique assets, places, and experiences that make our community special.

🔹 Resilience Committee – Building strategies to help our community prepare for challenges and strengthen long-term resilience.

🔹 Energy Committee – Exploring energy-related opportunities and strategies that can support our community's future.

Each initiative represents an opportunity to turn community conversations into meaningful action. While the RAFT process may be concluding, these priorities provide a foundation for continued collaboration, problem-solving, and progress in Dickenson County.

Thank you to each university and everyone who had a hand in making this happen. Whether you attended a community input session or served on an implementation team, your input matters to us!

Also a HUGE thank you to Amanda Hall an Ian Baxter for their dedication to this project. We would not have been successful without you all!
