The first section of the trail to be finished will be the easternmost stretch, starting at Gateway to Health park on Holland Road (1.7 miles west of Marion). We will pursue additional grants in order to develop the remainder of the trail, which will eventually go west and slightly north to the Hardin County line.
We anticipate opening a short stretch of paved trail this year, and opening up pedestrian access to Herr Road, where there is a beautiful pond. The trail will eventually pass through the Big Island Wildlife area, and the entire trail will have a delightful mix of shade and open areas.
