THE HERITAGE TRAILS
The Heritage Trails project has been underway since 2010 after a 2007 dream was realized and set forth in Duncan in an effort to provide citizens with a three-mile-long trail that will not only connect certain parts of the city but also provide an educational journey .
The trails connect parks and community fixtures such as the Simmons Center , Duncan Regional Hospital , Duncan Public Schools and the Chisholm Trail Heritage
