VANDERBURGH COUNTY, Ind. (WEHT) — Evansville joins a nationwide initiative to celebrate America's 42,000 miles of trails.
Several organizations and the Evansville Area Trails Coalition is taking part in Celebrate Trails Day at Burdette Park. It's a day of action to showcase the amenities which some say improve the quality of life for residents.
The local organizations are featuring the USI-Burdette trail to keep everyone informed about the resource, especially if they live on the other side of town.
'What's wonderful about it is that we get to feature and bring to light some of our local amenities. Some of the people on the far east side may not know or have experienced this trail. We're highlighting this trail so that people can come with other trail blazers if you want to walk or bike or roll and just experience nature while they're out on a multi-use trail,' says Evansville Area Trails Coalition Executive Director Lorie Van Hook.
Van Hook says there's upcoming urban hikes over the summer. That includes Walk & Bike to School Day coming up on May 7. Learn more at walkbikeevv.org.
