Connecting over 20 miles of the East Coast Greenway route, two new trail segments are slated for official designation following the Alliance’s national Greenway Council meeting in November. Twelve new segments have earned East Coast Greenway designation thus far in 2020.
The newest additions to the Greenway include:
New Hampshire & Massachusetts: Seabrook-Salisbury Connector, 0.1 miles (2.3 miles total): The Seabrook-Salisbury Connector is a short but key segment allowing access to the Salisbury Rail Trail from a public road. The natural surface, shared-use path provides trailhead facilities to users in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. This segment will eventually play a role in connecting the developing Border-to-Boston Trail in Massachusetts and the New Hampshire Seacoast Greenway.
Florida: Palatka-to-St. Augustine State Trail, 7 miles (19 miles total): A 7-mile extension of the St. Johns River-to-Sea Loop was recently completed connecting Palatka to St. Augustine, Florida, along the former Florida East Coast Rail Corridor. The newly designated, paved segment between Hastings and East Palatka brings the existing Palatka-to-St. Augustine State Trail length to 19 protected miles.
Read more about segments designated earlier this year from our May and August newsletters.
