Our Trail of the Month articles spotlight multiuse trails around the country and the unique role each plays in the communities they connect, for revitalization, transportation, access to parks and nature, and for showcasing local culture and history through trailside art and attractions. In these features, which include destination info for experiencing these pathways, we explore how the trails grew from vision to reality, discover the key people and partnerships that make them possible, and learn why they’ve become treasured community assets.
