HISTORIC DOWNTOWN TRAIL

Downtown trail

One of our most popular walking trails is located in the heart of our historic downtown area and runs parallel to Main Street (Highway 34). You may park at the Historic 96 Depot to start your walk. This trail is 1.4 miles long and is open from dawn until dusk, unless otherwise posted.

The Walking Trail runs east and west from the Depot to the town limit on what was formerly a railroad bed. Paved with rock dust, the trail is level, straight and is also handicap accessible. There are benches along the trail.

All residents, visitors and tourists alike are invited and  welcome to enjoy a beautiful, scenic walk. One may also note various focal points in our downtown that actually line the trail: Historic homes & buildings, The Library, The Historic 96 Depot, The Kinard House, The Visitor’s center, The Fountain and The Gazebo. For your safety, all Town trails are under police jurisdiction
