The Main Goal
Open a trailhead for railtrail and water users
The Purpose
This section of the Mon River RailTrail is remote and had no clear trail parking or signage. Nearby communities and visitors now have a signed and welcoming place to access a beautiful section of the river or rail-trail, for biking, walking, running, fishing, and paddling.
Changing behavior is not easy but improving the ease of access and breaking down the distance needed to travel, has increased trail use. Creating welcoming places to access trail and making the start to adventure easy, has increased trail use with return visits and longer time spent walking, running, or biking on the railtrail or paddling the river.
