Chief Ladiga Trail celebrated as June’s Trail of the Month
Reading time: 2 minutes
The Chief Ladiga Trail has been named “Trail of the Month for June” by the national organization – Rails to Trails Conservancy.
It has been a very good Spring for the Chief Ladiga Trail, the nation’s longest rail to trail when it meets with Georgia’s Silver Comet at the Georgia/Alabama stateline.
This past April, the last 6.5 mile leg of the 39.5 mile trail was completed in downtown Anniston.
Several Rails to Trails Board Members were on hand for the celebration. Obviously, they were very impressed.
