Phase 2a will be an extensive pathway winding from the City of Boscobel city limits to the area locally known as Cozy Acres. This portion of the trail is foundation of why this trail dream even began. The connection of Boscobel and the neighboring Village of Woodman has been the reason behind the dream since day one. Year of planning, preparing, grant writing, and collaboration amongst community members and governement has led to the point we are at today.
With the recent TAPs grant being awarded and the continued support of the City of Boscobel, the community supporters, and ongoing love of everyone involved... ground is set to break spring of 2021.
Watch FaceBook for updates, photos, and events where YOU can get involved too! See you on the trail.
