BACKGROUND
The trail project will include three segments that are included in the South Fork River Trail Corridor Gap Design. Segment A of the project begins on the far eastern edge of Poston Park, and it will use a pre-existing roadbed for much of the footprint of the trail. Segment A trail will connect to Segment B via a crosswalk over Lowell-Spencer Mountain Road. Segment B will include a multi-use path through George Poston Park. The Segment B trail will be located along the shoulder and islands of Mountainside Lane. This segment of trail will improve bicycle and pedestrian access throughout the busy park. Segment C will connect George Poston Park to the base of Spencer Mountain. Future trails are planned for Spencer Mountain. This section of trail will include a trailhead at Poston Park’s northern most parking lot.
