New Trailhead Facility to Enhance Woodbine Trail

The popular walking, biking, and running trail along where the railroad tracks used to be in Woodbine (three and a half miles long) that starts with a boardwalk at a park on the Satilla River and continues on under the U.S. 17 bridge and beyond is getting a new trailhead facility paid for by a $100, 000 Recreational Trail Grant from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. The grant will pay for restrooms and a trailhead facility with a parking area, bike racks, and water fountains. The construction battalion from Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base is providing the volunteer labor. I am planning to lace up my sneakers and check out the trail and the new features when they’re complete. At the very least I figure that I can walk off the crawfish dinner next April during the annual Crawfish Festival.
