The Woolly Bear Parkway Trail is on the former Pennsylvania rail corridor that starts in Kennard and extends west for 1.4 miles. The rustic trail is mostly grass with a gravel base, and lined with trees and other vegetation that make it both a serene escape for trail users and a theater for birds, deer and other wildlife, including the caterpillar that gives the trail its name. The trail is maintained by Healthy Communities of Henry County, a non-profit volunteer-led organization.
There is a small trailhead along Railroad Street in Kennard. The trailhead includes a small vehicle parking area, bike parking, benches and signage. The trail begins in an open grassy area but soon becomes shrouded with trees on either side. There are mile markers p;aced at half-mile intervals.
Trail was all grass and tall at some points. Me and my 2 kids got bit up super bad though by mosquitoes. Spiders webs and mosquitoes are horrible.
