Walking trail
expansion
underway in
Crawford
By RACHEL COLEMAN
Over the summer an abandoned town
road in Crawford was transformed into
a walking trail. Now the town is hard at
work on an expansion that would add two
new loops to the trail and has submitted
an application for state funds that would
help cover the cost.
“It will more than double the size,”
said Town Supervisor Charles Carnes.
Carnes said that once the project is
completed, the trail will offer more scenic
views and trail
choices to the
public than “just
a straight line.”
The existing
trail
follows
the path of the
abandoned
Ward Avenue,
which stretched
approximately
1.25
miles
between
East
Searsville Road
and
County
Route
17,
crossing over the Dwaar Kill.
Presently, visitors can walk from one
end to the other and return along the
same route. Phase II of the project will
create two new loops and add at least 1.5
miles to the walking trail. Construction
has already started on the expansion.
P hase II of
the project
will create two
new loops and
add at least 1.5
miles to the
walking trail.
