ALABAMA TRAIL NEWS
BILLS TARGET LEADING NATIONAL ROLE FOR ALABAMA RECREATIONAL TRAILS FOR RELEASE:
JANUARY 28, 2010
MONTGOMERY, AL
Companion bills filed in the Alabama legislature (SB 258, HB 376) would create an Alabama Trails Commission to foster widespread development and link-up of green and blue-water trails throughout the state. Focused on health, family, economic and tourism incentives, the bills call for the proposed commission to coordinate local needs, goals and leadership in trail design, operation, build-up and maintenance for hiking, biking, running, horseback riding, motorized off-highway vehicles, and water sport. |

Working For Our Community! |
Linking Community to Community, Town to Countryside, and People to People!
 Be A Guest On Our Trails!
Since our founding in 1995, the Baldwin County Trailblazers have concentrated on designing, funding and constructing the popular Eastern Shore Trail which follows the coast of Mobile Bay from the Battleship USS Alabama to the Weeks Bay Reserve...linking small towns, farming communities and waterfront resorts all along its 32mile route.
Now the time has come to chart a new course to connect the Eastern Shore Trail with existing trails in other parts of the county and to add new  trails.
These new trails can provide safe routes to schools, prevent health problems that thrive on inactivity, reduce auto emissions, fuel consumption, and build on the tourism that drives much of the country's economy.
The map below highlights completed trails already accommodating fitness enthusiasts, nature lovers on the Eastern Shore, Gulf Shores, and range Beach down on the Alabama Gulf Coast indicated in green.
The red lines on the map show suggested routes of trails that exist only on the drawing board and in the imagination of dreamers who see a network of trails developing throughout the county. The most exciting of these is the dream of a 30 mile off-road rail/trail between Foley and Bay Minette following the abandoned right-of-way of Baldwin County’s once and only railroad.
 Funding for this project is provided by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, State Lands Division, Coastal Section, in part, from a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management. Award #: 07NOS4190175.
