HOLLIDAYSBURG, BLAIR COUNTY - A local Rails to Trails group wants to expand and connect multiple trail systems.
The Central Pennsylvania Rails to Trails group presented a study to a group in Hollidaysburg Tuesday night. They want to connect a trail from the Flowing Spring Trailhead through Canal Basin Park and eventually hit the National Park Service's Six through Ten Trail. They hope to eventually connect a trail from the historic lemon house in Cambria County to Alexandria, Huntingdon County.
The organizers say it would bring recreational activities and economic benefits because people would travel through the towns. Now the group will start talking with property owners and start getting funding to expand the trails.
