Regional Trail Systems
Contribute to a distinctive community!
Recreational trails provide unique exercise opportunities and transportation routes, preserve critical open space, create natural corridors for wildlife, and enhance the communicipalities through which they pass. As highly desirable destinations for an increasing number of residents and tourists, regional trails also contribute to the local economy. Trail users need food, lodging, shoes, special clothes, and gear for running, hiking, biking, skating, or skiing. Many even buy souvenirs and other items during their trip.
By preserving the Brodhead and McMichael Greenway through the development of regional trails, the Stroud Region presents an extraordinary park system for generations to enjoy. No matter what the season, everyone can find a special place here. Whether drinking in the beauty of the summer wildflowers, marveling at nature’s awesome beauty in the fall, hearing the new-fallen snow crunching underfoot in the winter or listening to the chirping of delighted birds in the spring… our regional trails are a cherished community asset!
