Garrard County is increasing the number of planned exercise opportunities with a new hiking trail. Supported by efforts of the Extension Office, the trail opened in fall 2010. Working with the County Judge, fiscal court, city council, and others, Extension has committed up to $20,000 to create signage for environmental education and information about physical activity along the footpath. With financial partners in the community, Family & Consumer Sciences will enhance physical activity opportunities on the trail. After two years in other locations, the state-wide Second Sunday events took place at the new trail. The newly opened trail will mark the increase in much needed built-environment opportunities in Garrard County.
